Gregums DRAFTING FOR THE49ers

Draft Grade — 49ers

Grand theft in No. 214: the 49ers steal McCaffrey and grade out a B-. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the 49ers were there to profit. Luke McCaffrey, the No. 164 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 214. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.
A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. The Beebe pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Jordan Morgan
In the 31st overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in Round 2, Pick 31 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94
Rnd3
DJ James
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: DJ James for less than the market said. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick98
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
A reasonable price with a little left over, Brenden Rice in pick No. 98. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in slot 125 with a little surplus value in McKinnley Jackson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
A tidy bit of business in the 132nd pick, where Beaux Limmer graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick176
Rnd6
Sione Vaki
The board had Sione Vaki higher than No. 176, and the safety fell to them anyway. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick209
Rnd6
Garret Greenfield
They jumped the gun on Garret Greenfield, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick214
Rnd6
Luke McCaffrey
Somehow Luke McCaffrey was still sitting there in slot 214, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick215
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in pick 215 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick249
Rnd7
Tatum Bethune
Tatum Bethune in the 249th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
