Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Iapani Laloulu at the 125th overall pick. The 49ers jumped the board by 34 and dared it to prove them wrong.

The Allen steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald in the 25th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick57 Rnd2 CJ Allen
They let CJ Allen come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Keith Abney II at pick 89. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick125 Rnd4 Iapani Laloulu
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Iapani Laloulu. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick133 Rnd4 Max Iheanachor
A big swing on Max Iheanachor at slot 133, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in pick No. 139 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick172 Rnd5 Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton at the 172nd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
