Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC- FutureA
A respectable, level-headed haul for the 49ers: B.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the 49ers would have aced it. Malachi Lawrence at the 108th pick is 39 spots clear of where he belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The Bernard pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick58 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick92 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
You do not let a wide receiver like Germie Bernard reach Round 3, Pick 28 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick94 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. at pick No. 94 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Malachi Lawrence
They reached a country mile for Malachi Lawrence at pick 108, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132 Rnd4 Ted Hurst
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ted Hurst well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick133 Rnd4 Isaiah World
Isaiah World in the 133rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg in slot 138 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Kevin Coleman Jr. at pick 171 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
