Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall F
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A weekend the 49ers spent ahead of the board, for worse: F.

The 49ers bet big and early on Gabe Jacas, 43 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It bottoms out at a F.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left running back open, and the grade is the bill.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Elijah Sarratt
In slot 26 they get a home-run threat at receiver, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in No. 53 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick59 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas
Gabe Jacas at the 59th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick90 Rnd3 Austin Barber
No edge and no loss on Austin Barber in pick No. 90; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick127 Rnd4 Chris Johnson
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Chris Johnson worth more than the price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
They talked themselves into Jacob Rodriguez at Round 4, Pick 33, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick138 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for DeMonte Capehart. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Aaron Graves
They liked Aaron Graves enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick187 Rnd6 Lander Barton
They paid a round early for Lander Barton in the 187th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick214 Rnd6 Josh Moten
They took Josh Moten at par in pick No. 214, which is nothing to complain about. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick224 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in No. 224 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick237 Rnd7 Barion Brown
A reach for Barion Brown in slot 237; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
