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

The rest of the league had time to spare on Keilan Robinson; the 49ers did not wait, grabbing him 216 spots ahead at Round 7, Pick 28. A mixed bag that lands at C.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In pick No. 27 they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick85 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
No drama and no debate, McKinnley Jackson went about where he belonged in pick 85. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90 Rnd3 Troy Fautanu
They left a pile of value on the table to take Troy Fautanu this early at No. 90. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jaheim Bell
A big swing on Jaheim Bell at the Round 3 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick98 Rnd3 James Williams
James Williams at the 98th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick127 Rnd4 Zach Frazier
A premium they did not need to pay, Zach Frazier a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick136 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at Round 4, Pick 36 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick177 Rnd6 Landon Jackson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Landon Jackson in slot 177, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick205 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
They reached into another round for Eric Gentry, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick210 Rnd6 Storm Duck
They talked themselves into Storm Duck at No. 210, and the board did not agree. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick213 Rnd6 Zion Nelson
They reached a country mile for Zion Nelson at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick215 Rnd6 Mario Williams
They paid a round early for Mario Williams in the 215th pick, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick248 Rnd7 Keilan Robinson
Keilan Robinson in the 248th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
