Draft Grade — 49ers

NeedA-

FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the 49ers: B. Somebody in pick No. 127 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The 49ers sat still while Keylan Rutledge, the No. 106 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. The Virgil pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.
On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Kayden McDonald
In the 27th pick they get an anchor for the defensive front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
Nothing to complain about; Jake Slaughter went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127
Rnd4
Keylan Rutledge
Circle this one: Keylan Rutledge at Round 4, Pick 27 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138
Rnd4
Harold Perkins Jr.
Nice patience on Harold Perkins Jr., who had no business lasting to No. 138. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick139
Rnd4
Reggie Virgil
They reached a country mile for Reggie Virgil at the 139th pick, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
