Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers cashed the board's mistake on Robinson: B.

The board owed the 49ers one, and it paid up: Tayvion Robinson, the No. 232 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 7 slot like a gift left on the doorstep.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In pick 31 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at the 63rd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94 Rnd3 Max Melton
They will replay Max Melton at slot 94 for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick124 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick No. 124 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick131 Rnd4 Beau Brade
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Beau Brade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick133 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
A straight-up fair deal on Michael Pratt at No. 133, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick176 Rnd6 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick211 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at the 211th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick215 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
They took Caedan Wallace at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Tayvion Robinson
They barely believed it either: Tayvion Robinson still on the board at pick 251. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
