Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the 49ers, and a B- to prove it.

Some picks age like wine; Jack Westover at pick No. 211 will need to, sitting 109 spots clear of his grade. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. With running back and interior defensive lineman unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey at Round 1, Pick 31 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
By-the-book stuff, Kingsley Suamataia at No. 63 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Mahogany at the 94th pick, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
They liked Jarrian Jones enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick131 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at pick No. 131 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick133 Rnd4 Josh Newton
A surprising call. With running back and interior defensive lineman still to address, they spent pick 133 on Josh Newton, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick176 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in the 176th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jack Westover
Jack Westover in Round 6, Pick 36 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick215 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
They talked themselves into Sam Hartman at the 215th pick, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick251 Rnd7 Trajan Jeffcoat
A real head-scratcher, Trajan Jeffcoat in No. 251 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
