Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The 49ers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Trevor Keegan in the 215th pick, a good 36 spots before the room expected him. Too much went sideways, and the D- is the honest tally.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Logan Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 13th overall pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 31 they get a blindside protector, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
Taking T.J. Tampa in pick No. 63 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick94 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
They paid sticker price for Tykee Smith in Round 3, Pick 31, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick98 Rnd3 Mohamed Kamara
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mohamed Kamara. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Malik Washington
By-the-book stuff, Malik Washington at No. 113 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in No. 132 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick176 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
They went early on Jordan Jefferson in the 176th overall pick, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick209 Rnd6 Daijahn Anthony
A quiet steal in Round 6, Pick 34: Daijahn Anthony for less than the market said. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick214 Rnd6 Solomon Byrd
No edge and no loss on Solomon Byrd in pick 214; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick215 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
A real head-scratcher, Trevor Keegan in the 215th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Kenny Logan Jr. at pick No. 249 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
