Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesC- FutureB+
A respectable, level-headed haul for the 49ers: B-.

The 49ers bet big and early on Pat Coogan, 36 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Getting Delp where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Max Iheanachor
A straight-up fair deal on Max Iheanachor at No. 47, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick58 Rnd2 Malachi Lawrence
They liked Malachi Lawrence enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 58. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jakobe Thomas
The board had cheaper options than Jakobe Thomas at the 127th overall pick, and it noticed. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick138 Rnd4 Reggie Virgil
This one needs a full-page explanation: Reggie Virgil in the Round 4 slot, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp is a better player than slot 139 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick162 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan at pick 162 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
