Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
Larceny in the 255th overall pick lands the 49ers a B, Taylor and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Mason Taylor had no business being available in slot 255, and the 49ers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Abdul Carter at slot 11 is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at pick No. 43 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick75 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
Somehow Walter Nolen was still sitting there in the 75th pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick111 Rnd4 Wyatt Milum
Taking Wyatt Milum in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick137 Rnd4 Aireontae Ersery
The board fumbled Aireontae Ersery all the way to No. 137, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick138 Rnd5 Nick Emmanwori
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in the 138th overall pick, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick185 Rnd6 Gunnar Helm
They will replay Gunnar Helm at Round 6, Pick 10 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jeffrey Bassa
Circle this one: Jeffrey Bassa at pick 226 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick230 Rnd7 Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones in pick 230 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick249 Rnd7 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at No. 249 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick255 Rnd7 Mason Taylor
Steal is underselling it; Mason Taylor at Round 7, Pick 39 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
