Draft Grade — 49ers

More right than wrong for the 49ers, and a B to prove it.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The 49ers never addressed interior defensive lineman, and it is the kind of gap that lingers.

The Singleton Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Every board in the league had Roberts lower, and that gap is the story.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Gennings Dunker
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jaeden Roberts
The board had cheaper options than Jaeden Roberts at slot 59, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick90 Rnd3 Eric Singleton Jr.
They let Eric Singleton Jr. come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Xavier Scott
Xavier Scott slipping to the 127th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick133 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
They took Bray Hubbard at par in pick No. 133, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick138 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg in No. 138 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171 Rnd5 Raleek Brown
Raleek Brown at pick 171 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
