Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall

FutureD
The 49ers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B-. The 49ers put a flag in the ground for Max Iheanachor, 83 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Elijah Sarratt
No edge and no loss on Elijah Sarratt in the 33rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick49
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick58
Rnd2
Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor at Round 2, Pick 26 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92
Rnd3
Sam Roush
They talked themselves into Sam Roush at the 92nd pick, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick127
Rnd4
Bud Clark
Bud Clark in No. 127 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick133
Rnd4
Kyle Louis
The board had cheaper options than Kyle Louis at pick No. 133, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick138
Rnd4
Aaron Graves
A reach on Aaron Graves in the 138th pick; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick171
Rnd5
Patrick Payton
A real head-scratcher, Patrick Payton in pick 171 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick182
Rnd6
Ricardo Hallman
Ricardo Hallman at Round 6, Pick 3 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick206
Rnd6
J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant in the 206th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
