Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the 49ers, and a B to prove it.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The 49ers walked out of the weekend still thin at running back, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Getting Slaughter where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In slot 27 they get a true top target at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at the 58th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick92 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Darrell Jackson Jr. at pick No. 92 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg in Round 4, Pick 27 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick133 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge is a better player than No. 133 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in pick 138 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171 Rnd5 Brenen Thompson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Brenen Thompson in the 171st pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
