Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the 49ers: B-.

The tape said wait; the 49ers did not. Iapani Laloulu went at the 125th pick, a good 34 picks before the board was ready. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Styles. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In pick 25 they get a load in the middle. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Circle this one: Sonny Styles at the 57th pick is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Monroe Freeling
They talked themselves into Monroe Freeling at the 89th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Iapani Laloulu
This one needs a full-page explanation: Iapani Laloulu in Round 4, Pick 25, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick133 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
Nothing to complain about; Chase Bisontis went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139 Rnd4 Tim Keenan III
They liked Tim Keenan III enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 139. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick172 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor in slot 172 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
