Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the 49ers started one anyway for Braiden McGregor, 21 picks ahead of schedule.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. However the rest shakes out, Latham at that price is a win they earned.

They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
A conviction pick on Brenden Rice at the 63rd pick that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They liked Dominick Puni enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 94. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick98 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Nothing to complain about; Zak Zinter went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in Round 4, Pick 31 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick177 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at pick 177 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick209 Rnd6 Myles Jones
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 209 with a little surplus value in Myles Jones. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick213 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
Nice patience on Kenny Logan Jr., who had no business lasting to slot 213. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick215 Rnd6 Marcus Harris
They jumped the gun on Marcus Harris, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
They paid up for Jordan Whittington at pick 252 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
