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

The 49ers went off the board in a big way for Eli Cox, 86 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

If Shemar Stewart and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In the 11th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at pick No. 43 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
No edge and no loss on Andrew Mukuba in slot 75; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jacob Parrish
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jacob Parrish this early at pick 100. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in Round 4, Pick 11 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A wild overpay on Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the 138th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at slot 147 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Caleb Rogers
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Caleb Rogers. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick227 Rnd7 Simeon Barrow Jr.
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Simeon Barrow Jr.. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Eli Cox
Eli Cox at the 249th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick252 Rnd7 Warren Brinson
A real head-scratcher, Warren Brinson in the 252nd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
