Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall
B-
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the 49ers: B-. Of all the ways to open, the 49ers chose the head-scratcher, spending the 91st overall pick on Julian Neal with offensive lineman, running back and other spots still wide open. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
The skill positions did well by the weekend.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Denzel Boston
In the 26th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57
Rnd2
Malik Muhammad
No edge and no loss on Malik Muhammad in pick No. 57; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick91
Rnd3
Julian Neal
A surprising call. With offensive lineman, running back and other spots still to address, they spent the 91st pick on Julian Neal, a cornerback they were not short of.
