Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers robbed the room for Viliamu-Asa. Final grade: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa slide, and the 49ers were the ones holding the card at the Round 1 slot. Highway robbery.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. The cost of the Williams reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa
In pick No. 27 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Dashawn Spears
No edge and no loss on Dashawn Spears in Round 2, Pick 26; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick92 Rnd3 J'Koby Williams
They jumped the gun on J'Koby Williams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127 Rnd4 Emerson Mandell
By-the-book stuff, Emerson Mandell at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick133 Rnd4 KJ Duff
KJ Duff in No. 133 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138 Rnd4 DJ McKinney
DJ McKinney at the 138th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jackson Arnold
Jackson Arnold at slot 171 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
