Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers let Milton fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Kendall Milton got past him. The 49ers do not have to explain a thing at slot 214.

Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In No. 31 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
A straight-up fair deal on Mike Sainristil at the 63rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick94 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
A reasonable price with a little left over, Marshawn Kneeland in the 94th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They paid sticker price for Brenden Rice in slot 98, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter in Round 4, Pick 25 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A tidy little value on Cedric Gray in pick No. 132, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick176 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
Steal is underselling it; Malik Mustapha at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick209 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
Fair-plus on Drake Nugent, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick214 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
You do not let a running back like Kendall Milton reach slot 214 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Joe Milton III at the 215th pick is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
A slide stopped in pick 249, with Brevyn Spann-Ford worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
