Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Johnson should have been long gone. The 49ers pounced, and earned a B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The 49ers watched Kaleb Johnson slide 147 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The cost of the Stone reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. 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 tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
A conviction pick on Josh Simmons at the Round 1 slot that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick45 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
A big swing on Donovan Jackson at the 45th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at pick 76 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick101 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
They robbed the room for Harold Fannin Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115 Rnd4 Kamari Ramsey
Kamari Ramsey at pick No. 115 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick137 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
You do not let a linebacker like Deontae Lawson reach the 137th pick and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick188 Rnd6 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at Round 6, Pick 13 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick234 Rnd7 Brennan Presley
Brennan Presley at slot 234 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247 Rnd7 Gentry Williams
Gentry Williams in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick249 Rnd7 Preston Stone
A wild overpay on Preston Stone in the 249th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick254 Rnd7 Nic Anderson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nic Anderson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
