Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

The tape said wait; the 49ers did not. Eli Cox went at slot 227, a good 108 picks before the board was ready. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Knight Jr.. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 11 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch in Round 2, Pick 11 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Value with a capital V on Demetrius Knight Jr. in the 75th pick, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at the 100th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick113 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
No edge and no loss on Denzel Burke in pick 113; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick138 Rnd4 JJ Pegues
They reached into another round for JJ Pegues, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick147 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
A big swing on Ty Robinson at pick 147, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick160 Rnd5 Caleb Rogers
They talked themselves into Caleb Rogers at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Eli Cox
Eli Cox at pick No. 227 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249 Rnd7 Sam Brown Jr.
Sam Brown Jr. in the 249th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick252 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
A reach for Marcus Yarns in the 252nd pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
