Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers land in the muddy middle: C+.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The 49ers took Monroe Freeling at pick 24, roughly 98 spots before his name belonged. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

The Lane steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The Haulcy pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

Hit on Monroe Freeling and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In the 24th pick they get a long-term starter on the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Matayo Uiagalelei
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Matayo Uiagalelei in pick No. 56, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick88 Rnd3 Rod Moore
Rod Moore at Round 3, Pick 24 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick124 Rnd4 A.J. Haulcy
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 124 on A.J. Haulcy with running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick135 Rnd4 Ja'Kobi Lane
You do not let a wide receiver like Ja'Kobi Lane reach slot 135 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick139 Rnd4 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in No. 139 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick140 Rnd4 Joe Royer
The board fumbled Joe Royer all the way to Round 4, Pick 40, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
