Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the 49ers: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Ryan Watts had no business being available in slot 249, and the 49ers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Every board in the league had Spann-Ford lower, and that gap is the story. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Graham Barton
This one needs a full-page explanation: Graham Barton in pick 31, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie is a better player than Round 2, Pick 31 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They jumped the gun on Khyree Jackson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick98 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Darius Robinson. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at pick No. 132 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick176 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader in Round 6, Pick 1 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick209 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at the Round 6 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick214 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at No. 214 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick215 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
They took Braiden McGregor at par in the 215th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick249 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
A cornerback of that caliber at the 249th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
