Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the 49ers: B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The 49ers did exactly that with Tanner Koziol in slot 133. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Emmanuel Pregnon
In pick 27 they get a cornerstone up front, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Blake Miller
A straight-up fair deal on Blake Miller at the 58th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick92 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
A conviction pick on Daylen Everette at slot 92 that the board grades a round light. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick127 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133 Rnd4 Tanner Koziol
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tanner Koziol in Round 4, Pick 33, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick138 Rnd4 Malik Benson
Good price on Malik Benson in the 138th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jalen Stroman
No edge and no loss on Jalen Stroman in pick No. 171; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
