Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA- FutureC
Grand theft in No. 94: the 49ers steal Rice and grade out a B.

When a board-topper like Brenden Rice slides to the 94th pick, you do not overthink it, and the 49ers did not. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They will need Sinnott to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 JC Latham
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They barely believed it either: Xavier Worthy still on the board at pick No. 63. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They robbed the room for Brenden Rice here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Mason McCormick
No drama and no debate, Mason McCormick went about where he belonged in the 98th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick132 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in slot 132 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick176 Rnd6 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright slid further than he should have, and the 176th pick is lovely value for the running back. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick209 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
A slide stopped in the Round 6 slot, with Josh Proctor worth more than the price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick214 Rnd6 Marcellas Dial
They will replay Marcellas Dial at No. 214 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick215 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
They took Gabe Hall at par in Round 6, Pick 40, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
Ryan Watts at slot 249 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
