Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The 49ers put a flag in the ground for Zane Durant, 44 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Slaughter. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Gennings Dunker
Gennings Dunker at pick 23 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
They robbed the room for Jake Slaughter here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87 Rnd3 Caleb Tiernan
Caleb Tiernan in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tim Keenan III
Tim Keenan III at pick No. 122 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
A reach for Ar'maj Reed-Adams in the 138th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd4 Zane Durant
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zane Durant in Round 4, Pick 39, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick140 Rnd4 Kage Casey
They reached a country mile for Kage Casey at No. 140, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
