Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the 49ers: B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named wide receiver, a need the 49ers walked right past. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They are betting Bethune proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The Robinson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In slot 31 they get a double-digit-sack hope, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
By-the-book stuff, Patrick Paul at the 63rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A premium they did not need to pay, Zak Zinter a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick124 Rnd4 James Williams
No edge and no loss on James Williams in Round 4, Pick 24; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick131 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
No drama and no debate, Roger Rosengarten went about where he belonged in the 131st pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick133 Rnd4 Kalen King
Kalen King in pick No. 133 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick176 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
A conviction pick on Tanor Bortolini at pick 176 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick211 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick215 Rnd6 Tatum Bethune
A reach for Tatum Bethune in slot 215; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick251 Rnd7 Kalen DeLoach
Nothing to complain about; Kalen DeLoach went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
