Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 251st pick lands the 49ers a B-, Robinson and all.

Of all the ways to open, the 49ers chose the head-scratcher, spending Round 4, Pick 33 on Chau Smith-Wade with running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots still wide open. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Robinson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In No. 31 they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Nothing to complain about; Payton Wilson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick94 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
They took Caelen Carson at par in slot 94, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick124 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They paid sticker price for Johnny Wilson in pick No. 124, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick131 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the 131st pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick133 Rnd4 Chau Smith-Wade
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Chau Smith-Wade adds a cornerback and leaves running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots untouched.
Pick176 Rnd6 Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson in pick 176 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Garret Greenfield. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick215 Rnd6 Trey Knox
They jumped the gun on Trey Knox, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick251 Rnd7 Tayvion Robinson
They robbed the room for Tayvion Robinson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
