Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall D+
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesF FutureB
The 49ers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D+.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The 49ers did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

They will need Colson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Getting Rice where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
They paid up for Troy Fautanu at the 33rd pick when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick63 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at slot 63 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A premium they did not need to pay, Jackson Powers-Johnson a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94 Rnd3 MarShawn Lloyd
They paid sticker price for MarShawn Lloyd in pick 94, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick98 Rnd3 Junior Colson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Junior Colson in the Round 3 slot, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at No. 131 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
