Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. 49ers: C+.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the 49ers shredded theirs for Brenden Rice. He came off 58 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

The Muasau value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In slot 31 they get a sticky cover corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick63 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the 63rd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick94 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten
A straight-up fair deal on Roger Rosengarten at pick 94, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick124 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A reach on Javon Foster in the Round 4 slot; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick132 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at pick No. 132 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Beau Brade in Round 4, Pick 35 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick176 Rnd6 James Williams
James Williams in the 176th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick211 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Brevyn Spann-Ford. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jalen Coker
Good price on Jalen Coker in Round 6, Pick 40, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick251 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
You do not let a linebacker like Darius Muasau reach pick No. 251 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
