Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Banks should have been long gone. The 49ers pounced, and earned a B.

The 49ers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Caleb Banks fell into Round 2, Pick 25.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In the 26th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick57 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks at No. 57 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick91 Rnd3 Caleb Tiernan
A tidy little value on Caleb Tiernan in the 91st overall pick, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick126 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch at the Round 4 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick134 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis at Round 4, Pick 34 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139 Rnd4 Demond Claiborne
Demond Claiborne at pick No. 139 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick140 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
Fair-plus on Parker Brailsford, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
