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

If confidence were a draft strategy, the 49ers would have aced it. Duce Robinson at No. 133 is 29 spots clear of where he belonged. The final tally is a middling C+.

The 49ers indulged a want in Shuler while a need in running back, quarterback and other spots stayed open. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Dillon Thieneman
In pick 25 they get a two-high chess piece, a steep price for the projection. Need was not the driver here.
Pick57 Rnd2 Connor Lew
A clean, defensible pick in the 57th overall pick with a little surplus value in Connor Lew. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Adon Shuler
They bypassed pressing needs at running back, quarterback and other spots to take Adon Shuler, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick125 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis at slot 125 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133 Rnd4 Duce Robinson
A big swing on Duce Robinson at No. 133, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139 Rnd4 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor in Round 4, Pick 39 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172 Rnd5 Lee Hunter
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Lee Hunter well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
