Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers cashed the board's mistake on Devonshire: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: M.J. Devonshire, the No. 182 name on the board, stolen at Round 6, Pick 39. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In pick No. 31 they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Max Melton
Max Melton in pick 63 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick94 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at slot 94 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick98 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at No. 98 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick125 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
By-the-book stuff, McKinnley Jackson at the 125th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick132 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
They read the board right and Beaux Limmer was the payoff at Round 4, Pick 32. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick176 Rnd6 Sione Vaki
A clean, defensible pick in the 176th pick with a little surplus value in Sione Vaki. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick209 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They let Joe Milton III come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick214 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire in the 214th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in pick No. 215 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick249 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Trevin Wallace in Round 7, Pick 29. A need, and now a little less of one.
