Matt DRAFTING FOR THE49ers

Draft Grade — 49ers

FutureB-
The 49ers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B. The 49ers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending slot 171 on LJ McCray a full 39 spots early. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. They banked enough surplus on Jackson to cover a lot of smaller sins.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick92
Rnd3
Evan Stewart
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Evan Stewart. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jayden Jackson
Jayden Jackson in Round 4, Pick 27 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick133
Rnd4
Lawson Luckie
No edge and no loss on Lawson Luckie in No. 133; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick138
Rnd4
Jake Johnson
They talked themselves into Jake Johnson at the 138th pick, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171
Rnd5
LJ McCray
A swing that ignored the value entirely, LJ McCray well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
