Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall C
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureD
The steal of the weekend belongs to the 49ers and McNeil-Warren: C.

Somebody took the 49ers to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

They are betting Gill-Howard proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

So much rides on Olaivavega Ioane that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In the 27th pick they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In No. 28 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Malachi Lawrence
A reach on Malachi Lawrence in pick 59; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick74 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
You do not let a safety like Emmanuel McNeil-Warren reach pick No. 74 and blink. They did not. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick109 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Taking Bryce Lance in the 109th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Jack Endries at Round 4, Pick 27 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick133 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
They reached into another round for Skyler Gill-Howard, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
No drama and no debate, J.C. Davis went about where he belonged in pick No. 138. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
A tidy little value on Harold Perkins Jr. in the 139th pick, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
