Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in Round 3, Pick 27 lands the 49ers a B+, Robinson and all.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The 49ers watched Chop Robinson slide 56 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Every board in the league had Sinnott lower, and that gap is the story.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
The board had Brian Thomas Jr. higher than pick No. 35, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick63 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
They robbed the room for Tyler Nubin here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick90 Rnd3 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in the 90th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They will replay Cooper Beebe at No. 94 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick98 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Circle this one: Christian Mahogany at pick 98 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Value said wait; Ben Sinnott in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at the 132nd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. It fills a real need, too.
Pick161 Rnd5 Austin Booker
No edge and no loss on Austin Booker in slot 161; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick176 Rnd6 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Value with a capital V on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in No. 176, a genuine coup. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick209 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in the 209th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick214 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
Nothing to complain about; Isaiah Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick215 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Gabe Hall. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick249 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
They went early on Garret Greenfield in the Round 7 slot, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
