Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers robbed the room for Pregnon. Final grade: B.

The 49ers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Emmanuel Pregnon fell into pick No. 92.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The cost of the Louis reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick No. 27 they get a centerfielder for the defense, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick58 Rnd2 Zion Young
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Zion Young at No. 58. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick92 Rnd3 Emmanuel Pregnon
You do not let an offensive lineman like Emmanuel Pregnon reach slot 92 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick127 Rnd4 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels at the 127th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick133 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
They read the board right and Michael Trigg was the payoff at the 133rd overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick138 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
Kyle Louis in pick 138 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Taking Davison Igbinosun in Round 5, Pick 33 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
