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

The Monroe Freeling pick is the one that will follow the 49ers into the fall. They took him 22 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That Neal pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
They reached a country mile for Monroe Freeling at pick 27, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick58 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
Gennings Dunker at No. 58 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92 Rnd3 Julian Neal
The board had Julian Neal higher than the 92nd overall pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick127 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
A tidy bit of business in the 127th pick, where Parker Brailsford graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick133 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
They paid sticker price for Mike Washington Jr. in Round 4, Pick 33, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138 Rnd4 Eric Rivers
Eric Rivers in pick No. 138 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Nwankpa at Round 5, Pick 33 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
