Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the 49ers for Rourke: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the 49ers were there to profit. Kurtis Rourke, the No. 144 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 232nd pick.

The Lampkin reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In slot 11 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
By-the-book stuff, Jonah Savaiinaea at the 43rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in pick 75 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick99 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
The board had Donovan Jackson higher than No. 99, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Nothing to complain about; Jared Wilson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick138 Rnd4 Willie Lampkin
They reached into another round for Willie Lampkin, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139 Rnd4 Mitchell Evans
A premium they did not need to pay, Mitchell Evans a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick189 Rnd6 Tommi Hill
Taking Tommi Hill in pick No. 189 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick228 Rnd7 Pat Bryant
They barely believed it either: Pat Bryant still on the board at the Round 7 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick232 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
Steal is underselling it; Kurtis Rourke at No. 232 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick255 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
You do not let a running back like Kyle Monangai reach the 255th pick and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
