Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in slot 192: the 49ers steal Moss and grade out a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Miller Moss, the No. 112 name on the board, stolen at pick 192.

They will need Young to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a building block for the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the Round 2 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick79 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in pick No. 79 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick101 Rnd3 Earnest Greene III
Circle this one: Earnest Greene III at the 101st pick is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Benjamin Morrison
A big swing on Benjamin Morrison at slot 115, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick138 Rnd4 Shemar Stewart
Steal is underselling it; Shemar Stewart at No. 138 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick192 Rnd6 Miller Moss
A quarterback of that caliber at pick 192 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick235 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey slid further than he should have, and the 235th overall pick is lovely value for the tight end. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Marcus Mbow
A reasonable price with a little left over, Marcus Mbow in pick 248. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick250 Rnd7 Roydell Williams
This one needs a full-page explanation: Roydell Williams in slot 250, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick255 Rnd7 Colbie Young
Colbie Young at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
