Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 92: the 49ers steal Taaffe and grade out a B.

The board owed the 49ers one, and it paid up: Michael Taaffe, the No. 69 name on the board, sitting there at the 92nd pick like a gift left on the doorstep. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

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

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
Fair-plus on Olaivavega Ioane, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick58 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
Good price on Omar Cooper Jr. in No. 58, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at the 92nd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick127 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance slid further than he should have, and pick No. 127 is lovely value for the wide receiver. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick133 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
They let Davison Igbinosun come to them and pounced at the 133rd pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick138 Rnd4 Nate Boerkircher
The board had cheaper options than Nate Boerkircher at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
A reasonable price with a little left over, Aamil Wagner in pick 171. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
