Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. 49ers: C+.

Nobody else had Mekhi Wingo anywhere near pick No. 31. The 49ers did, by 33 spots, and that gap is the whole story. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Hit on Mekhi Wingo and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Mekhi Wingo
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Tyler Davis
A big swing on Tyler Davis at the 63rd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at the 94th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
