Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the 49ers: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Baylor Cupp at the 251st overall pick, a reach of 95 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean in slot 31 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
No edge and no loss on Kingsley Suamataia in pick 63; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick94 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brenden Rice. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick124 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at pick No. 124 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick131 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A straight-up fair deal on Mohamed Kamara at the 131st pick, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick133 Rnd4 Trevor Keegan
A reach on Trevor Keegan in the Round 4 slot; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick176 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Frank Gore Jr.. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in Round 6, Pick 36 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick215 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym in slot 215 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick251 Rnd7 Baylor Cupp
Baylor Cupp at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
