Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall
B

TradesB-
FutureB-
The 49ers checked most of the boxes and earned a B. You can draft well and still miss the point. The 49ers did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to interior defensive lineman, which was the need that mattered most. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Altuner. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Bryant Wesco Jr.
In No. 27 they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58
Rnd2
Sheridan Wilson
No drama and no debate, Sheridan Wilson went about where he belonged in the 58th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick92
Rnd3
Sammy Brown
They took Sammy Brown at par in pick No. 92, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick127
Rnd4
Earl Little Jr.
Fair-plus on Earl Little Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick133
Rnd4
James Peoples
Good price on James Peoples in slot 133, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick138
Rnd4
Elijah Rushing
Elijah Rushing in pick 138 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick171
Rnd5
Kyle Altuner
The board had Kyle Altuner higher than the 171st pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
