Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the 49ers, and a C+ to match.

Some picks age like wine; Antwaun Powell-Ryland at the 127th pick will need to, sitting 24 spots clear of his grade.

It is not that Tampa is a bad player; it is that the 49ers had louder needs to answer first. They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In the 27th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick59 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They zigged when the board said zag, taking T.J. Tampa at defensive back with offensive lineman, wide receiver and other spots open.
Pick90 Rnd3 Howard Cross III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Howard Cross III. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at Round 3, Pick 35 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at the Round 4 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
