Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the 49ers, and a B- to prove it.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the 49ers spent Round 4, Pick 38 on Tyler Batty, a name most had 87 spots down the list. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They banked enough surplus on Mukuba to cover a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In the 11th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
A wild overpay on Jared Ivey in pick 43, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in Round 3, Pick 11 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick112 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
The board fumbled Andrew Mukuba all the way to the 112th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick138 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
They read the board right and Darius Alexander was the payoff at slot 138. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd4 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty at the 139th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick148 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Fair-plus on Nick Nash, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick189 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor in No. 189 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
No drama and no debate, Jabbar Muhammad went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 10. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick232 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
Marcus Yarns in slot 232 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick255 Rnd7 Robbie Ouzts
Robbie Ouzts in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
