Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the 49ers, and a B- to prove it.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The 49ers reached some 105 spots for Akheem Mesidor, and value like that does not grow back. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

However the rest shakes out, Hancock at that price is a win they earned. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
They took James Pearce Jr. at par in the 11th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant slipping to the 43rd pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at No. 75 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick100 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
They paid up for Luke Kandra at slot 100 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick112 Rnd4 Logan Brown
They talked themselves into Logan Brown at pick 112, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 137 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick186 Rnd6 Davison Igbinosun
A big swing on Davison Igbinosun at Round 6, Pick 11, well ahead of any board in the building. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick226 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor at No. 226 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at the 230th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at the Round 7 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick254 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
A swing that ignored the value entirely, J.J. Weaver well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
