Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers let Simon fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Somebody in pick 252 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The 49ers sat still while Cody Simon, the No. 130 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick 11 they get a potential shutdown corner, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick43 Rnd2 Armand Membou
You do not let an offensive lineman like Armand Membou reach the 43rd overall pick and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in the 75th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in pick No. 100 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard at Round 4, Pick 11 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick138 Rnd4 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Marcus Mbow
They barely believed it either: Marcus Mbow still on the board at No. 147. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick160 Rnd5 Devin Neal
The board fumbled Devin Neal all the way to slot 160, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
Somehow Caleb Ransaw was still sitting there in pick 227, and they pounced on premier safety value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at slot 249 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick252 Rnd7 Cody Simon
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 252 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
