Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Taulia Tagovailoa at slot 215, a reach of 61 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Smith-Wade falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at the Round 1 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick63 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in pick 63 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick94 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
By-the-book stuff, Brenden Rice at the 94th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick123 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
Circle this one: Christian Mahogany at No. 123 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at the 130th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in slot 132 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick175 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
The board fumbled Chau Smith-Wade all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Eric Watts
Eric Watts at pick 211 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick215 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
They talked themselves into Taulia Tagovailoa at pick No. 215, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick232 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
They let Frank Gore Jr. come to them and pounced at the 232nd overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jalen Green
A straight-up fair deal on Jalen Green at Round 7, Pick 31, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
