Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The 49ers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the 49ers spent pick No. 252 on Antario Brown, a name most had 126 spots down the list.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Andre Dillard deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 23 they get a load in the middle. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
No edge and no loss on Aireontae Ersery in the 43rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick54 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at No. 54 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at slot 75 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick87 Rnd3 Savion Williams
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Savion Williams. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
They paid sticker price for Jared Wilson in Round 3, Pick 36, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
No drama and no debate, Anthony Belton went about where he belonged in pick 113. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They reached a country mile for Antwaun Powell-Ryland at Round 4, Pick 36, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
They took Jackson Slater at par in the 147th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool in pick No. 151 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
A straight-up fair deal on Ty Robinson at the 159th pick, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick160 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at slot 160 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in No. 198 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick227 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
They talked themselves into Teddye Buchanan at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jacory Croskey-Merritt
Jacory Croskey-Merritt at the 249th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick252 Rnd7 Antario Brown
A wild overpay on Antario Brown in No. 252, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
