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

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Wyatt Milum got past him. The 49ers do not have to explain a thing at No. 255. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. The Barron pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at running back and quarterback.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
A tidy bit of business in the 11th pick, where Travis Hunter graded well above the range. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick43 Rnd2 Armand Membou
They read the board right and Armand Membou was the payoff at No. 43. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Kenneth Grant in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick99 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at slot 99 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick112 Rnd4 Kyle Kennard
Taking Kyle Kennard in the 112th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jahdae Barron
A curious use of pick 138. Running back and quarterback needed the pick; a cornerback in Jahdae Barron did not.
Pick139 Rnd4 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow in pick No. 139 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick189 Rnd6 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at Round 6, Pick 11 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick228 Rnd7 Sebastian Castro
They robbed the room for Sebastian Castro here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick232 Rnd7 Savion Williams
They will replay Savion Williams at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick255 Rnd7 Wyatt Milum
You do not let an offensive lineman like Wyatt Milum reach Round 7, Pick 37 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
