Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall

The 49ers did enough to get by: C. The rest of the league had time to spare on Zachariah Branch; the 49ers did not wait, grabbing him 81 spots ahead at slot 27. Call it a C and check back in two years.
A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. However the rest shakes out, Overton at that price is a win they earned. The skill positions did well by the weekend.
Hit on Zachariah Branch and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Zachariah Branch
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a difference-maker at receiver, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58
Rnd2
LT Overton
LT Overton at the 58th pick is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
