Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers kept it disciplined and banked a B.

There is a lot to like until you notice interior defensive lineman is still a hole. The 49ers never got to the one that mattered most. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Haulcy. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down second-level presence, outstanding value to boot.
Pick56 Rnd2 Trevor Goosby
They paid sticker price for Trevor Goosby in pick 56, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick88 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy at the 88th overall pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick124 Rnd4 Chris Johnson
Fair-plus on Chris Johnson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick135 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
No drama and no debate, Parker Brailsford went about where he belonged in No. 135. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd4 Eugene Wilson III
A reasonable price with a little left over, Eugene Wilson III in pick No. 139. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick140 Rnd4 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price in slot 140 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
