ModestWalrus DRAFTING FOR THE49ers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall

FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the 49ers and Lew: B. When a board-topper like Connor Lew slides to the 127th overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the 49ers did not.
Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Kenyon Sadiq
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a security blanket over the middle, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick58
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
Circle this one: Dillon Thieneman at slot 58 is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick92
Rnd3
Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange at No. 92 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127
Rnd4
Connor Lew
Steal is underselling it; Connor Lew at the 127th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133
Rnd4
J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis in pick No. 133 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138
Rnd4
CJ Daniels
They did well to land CJ Daniels in the Round 4 slot, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171
Rnd5
Jalen Farmer
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jalen Farmer in pick 171. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
