Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the 49ers: B.

Nobody else had Giles Jackson anywhere near Round 7, Pick 14. The 49ers did, by 129 spots, and that gap is the whole story. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

However the rest shakes out, Mullings at that price is a win they earned. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick No. 11 they get a disruptive interior force. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75 Rnd3 Aireontae Ersery
Taking Aireontae Ersery in No. 75 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
They did well to land Malachi Moore in the 99th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick112 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at pick 112 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138 Rnd4 JJ Pegues
This one needs a full-page explanation: JJ Pegues in Round 4, Pick 37, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Circle this one: Charles Grant at Round 4, Pick 38 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick189 Rnd6 Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings in slot 189 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Steal is underselling it; Jack Kiser at No. 228 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick232 Rnd7 Giles Jackson
Giles Jackson at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick255 Rnd7 DJ Uiagalelei
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for DJ Uiagalelei. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
