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

You can draft well and still miss the point. The 49ers did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to wide receiver, which was the need that mattered most. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

If Lomu pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
They went early on Caleb Lomu in pick No. 26, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jaeden Roberts
They jumped the gun on Jaeden Roberts, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
