Draft Grade — 49ers

Grand theft in pick No. 176: the 49ers steal Oladapo and grade out a B-.

The 49ers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Kitan Oladapo fell into the 176th pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

With running back, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a cornerstone up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Max Melton
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Max Melton. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick94 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at pick 94 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick98 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at the 98th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick125 Rnd4 Andru Phillips
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Andru Phillips while clear needs at running back, quarterback and other spots sat open.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash in slot 132 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick176 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in No. 176 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick209 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Curtis Jacobs in pick No. 209. The roster fit checks out.
Pick214 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
A tidy little value on Nathan Thomas in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick215 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
No drama and no debate, Tanor Bortolini went about where he belonged in the 215th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Whittington at Round 7, Pick 29 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
