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

Thirty-one other rooms let David Bailey slide, and the 49ers were the ones holding the card at slot 231. Highway robbery.

Grant has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a bell-cow for the offense, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Charles Grant
They left a pile of value on the table to take Charles Grant this early at pick No. 48. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
They robbed the room for Colston Loveland here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Fair-plus on Jake Majors, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick115 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at slot 115 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick137 Rnd4 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey in No. 137 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick193 Rnd6 Sonny Styles
The board fumbled Sonny Styles all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick231 Rnd7 David Bailey
Somehow David Bailey was still sitting there in the 231st overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Dayon Hayes
Dayon Hayes at pick 247 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick249 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A real head-scratcher, Thor Griffith in No. 249 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick254 Rnd7 Joey Slackman
Joey Slackman in the 254th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
