Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the 49ers: B.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the 49ers started one anyway for Mase Funa, 122 picks ahead of schedule.

However the rest shakes out, McCormick at that price is a win they earned. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In pick 31 they get a long-term starter on the line, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A tidy little value on Dominick Puni in the 94th pick, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick124 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at pick No. 124 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick131 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They barely believed it either: Cedric Gray still on the board at No. 131. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick133 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at the 133rd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick176 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
Tip Reiman in Round 6, Pick 1 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick211 Rnd6 Mason McCormick
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Mason McCormick in the 211th overall pick, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick215 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
By-the-book stuff, Garret Greenfield at pick No. 215 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick251 Rnd7 Mase Funa
They reached a country mile for Mase Funa at slot 251, and the board is aghast. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
