Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the 49ers.

Every other box got a look, but running back did not. The 49ers will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Lance steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will need Laloulu to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In pick 23 they get a building block for the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
By-the-book stuff, Elijah Sarratt at the 54th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick85 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
Value with a capital V on Deontae Lawson in No. 85, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
They took Monroe Freeling at par in the 123rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Charles Jagusah
Good price on Charles Jagusah in slot 135, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance in pick No. 139 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140 Rnd4 Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
