Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the 49ers, and a B to prove it.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the 49ers shredded theirs for Bub Means. He came off 35 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The Paul steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 JC Latham
A quiet steal in pick No. 31: JC Latham for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick63 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at Round 2, Pick 31 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Circle this one: Patrick Paul at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in pick 124 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick131 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in slot 131 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick133 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at the 133rd pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick176 Rnd6 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd in Round 6, Pick 1 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick211 Rnd6 Bub Means
Bub Means at the 211th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick215 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
The board fumbled M.J. Devonshire all the way to slot 215, and they scooped it up. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick251 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at pick No. 251 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
