Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall C
ValueF NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers did enough to get by: C.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the 49ers shredded theirs for Easton Dean. He came off 302 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Landing Bywater that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Brenden Rice
In No. 27 they get a No. 1 receiver, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in Round 2, Pick 27 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick90 Rnd3 Frank Gore Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Frank Gore Jr. this early at the Round 3 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick98 Rnd3 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in slot 98 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127 Rnd4 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at pick No. 127 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick177 Rnd6 Storm Duck
Storm Duck at pick 177 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick205 Rnd6 Easton Dean
They reached into another round for Easton Dean, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick213 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All in the 213th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick215 Rnd6 Ben Bywater
Ben Bywater is a better player than Round 6, Pick 40 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick248 Rnd7 DJ Uiagalelei
They reached a country mile for DJ Uiagalelei at No. 248, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
