Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the 49ers.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the 49ers spent the 179th pick on Lawson Luckie, a name most had 82 spots down the list.

The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it. A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
They reached into another round for Kenyatta Jackson Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
They paid sticker price for Omar Cooper Jr. in slot 89, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore in the 125th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick133 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
By-the-book stuff, Parker Brailsford at Round 4, Pick 33 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
They took J.C. Davis at par in pick No. 139, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick179 Rnd5 Lawson Luckie
Lawson Luckie at pick 179 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217 Rnd7 Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander in the 217th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
