Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
The 49ers checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The 49ers went off the board in a big way for Rayshaun Benny, 31 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. On value alone, Fields makes the weekend a net positive.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In pick 31 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter slid further than he should have, and Round 2, Pick 26 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields at slot 92 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at No. 125 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Good price on Keylan Rutledge in the Round 4 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jakobe Thomas
Jakobe Thomas in the 133rd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick138 Rnd4 Hezekiah Masses
Nice patience on Hezekiah Masses, who had no business lasting to the 138th overall pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick171 Rnd5 Rayshaun Benny
They left a pile of value on the table to take Rayshaun Benny this early at pick No. 171. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
