Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The 49ers bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The 49ers lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.

Every board in the league had Reed lower, and that gap is the story. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. On value alone, Smith makes the weekend a net positive.

The D.J. Humphries deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
Joe Alt at No. 4 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick31 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In slot 31 they get a problem off the edge, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in pick 63 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A straight-up fair deal on Brenden Rice at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. slipping to Round 4, Pick 24 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick131 Rnd4 Trevor Keegan
A conviction pick on Trevor Keegan at the 131st pick that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick133 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
A reach for Ainias Smith in pick No. 133; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick176 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith is a better player than the 176th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Fair-plus on Jared Wiley, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick215 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
A tidy little value on Nathaniel Watson in No. 215, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick251 Rnd7 Austin Reed
Austin Reed in pick 251 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
