Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 140: the 49ers steal Mendoza and grade out a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Fernando Mendoza, Round 4, Pick 40, roughly 135 picks past where he belonged. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The 49ers indulged a want in Delane while a need in running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots stayed open. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In No. 26 they get a cornerstone up front at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jordyn Tyson
Taking Jordyn Tyson in slot 91 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jermod McCoy
They barely believed it either: Jermod McCoy still on the board at pick No. 126. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mansoor Delane
A want over a need in Round 4, Pick 28: Mansoor Delane adds a cornerback while running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick134 Rnd4 Carnell Tate
Carnell Tate in the 134th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139 Rnd4 David Bailey
David Bailey at the 139th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick140 Rnd4 Fernando Mendoza
You do not let a quarterback like Fernando Mendoza reach pick 140 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
