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

You can hear the double-takes from here. The 49ers took Rondell Bothroyd at pick 249, roughly 61 spots before his name belonged.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In No. 31 they get a blindside protector, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
They liked Malachi Corley enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 63. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Mike Sainristil at the Round 3 slot is the proof. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick98 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
They paid sticker price for Tykee Smith in slot 98, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick132 Rnd4 Layden Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Layden Robinson. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in the 176th pick is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick209 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
By-the-book stuff, Braiden McGregor at pick No. 209 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick214 Rnd6 Dylan McMahon
Dylan McMahon at the 214th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215 Rnd6 Marcellas Dial
The board fumbled Marcellas Dial all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick249 Rnd7 Rondell Bothroyd
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Rondell Bothroyd well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
