Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers let Mafah fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Phil Mafah tumbling to the 49ers in the Round 7 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

Reaching for Williams left real value on the table behind him. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Cameron Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
They barely believed it either: Colston Loveland still on the board at Round 2, Pick 11. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75 Rnd3 Tre Harris
The board fumbled Tre Harris all the way to pick 75, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick99 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke slipping to the 99th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Fair-plus on Jordan Phillips, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Brashard Smith in the 138th pick, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139 Rnd4 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in slot 139 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tyler Cooper
They reached a country mile for Tyler Cooper at No. 148, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick189 Rnd6 Akili Arnold
They liked Akili Arnold enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 189. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jeremy Crawshaw
Jeremy Crawshaw at the 228th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick232 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
They robbed the room for Phil Mafah here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick255 Rnd7 Brandon Adams
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Brandon Adams at the Round 7 slot is the proof. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
