Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the 49ers would have aced it. Marist Liufau at the 94th overall pick is 54 spots clear of where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Khyree Jackson
They reached a country mile for Khyree Jackson at the 63rd pick, and the board is aghast. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick94 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
They reached into another round for Marist Liufau, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
No edge and no loss on Jalen McMillan in pick 98; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125 Rnd4 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at the 125th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at pick No. 132 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
