Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Everything else got attention, and offensive lineman got none. That is a strange way for the 49ers to leave a draft.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick92 Rnd3 Teitum Tuioti
A tidy little value on Teitum Tuioti in pick No. 92, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick127 Rnd4 Maraad Watson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Maraad Watson in Round 4, Pick 27. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133 Rnd4 Anto Saka
Anto Saka at pick 133 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick138 Rnd4 Elijah Rushing
Fair-plus on Elijah Rushing, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
No edge and no loss on Jermaine Mathews Jr. in the 171st overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
