Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the 49ers: B-.

The 49ers did not so much draft Desmond Reid as overpay for him, 40 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Getting Bernard where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the 27th pick they get the heartbeat of the defense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A safety of that caliber at pick 58 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick92 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
Circle this one: Germie Bernard at pick No. 92 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick127 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Good price on Keylan Rutledge in Round 4, Pick 27, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Sam Roush
This one needs a full-page explanation: Sam Roush in the Round 4 slot, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick138 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
No edge and no loss on DeMonte Capehart in the 138th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick171 Rnd5 Desmond Reid
Desmond Reid at Round 5, Pick 33 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
