Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the 49ers.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Patrick Payton in the Round 4 slot, a good 61 spots before the room expected him. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Rutledge falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In the 27th overall pick they get the heartbeat of the defense, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Connor Lew
No edge and no loss on Connor Lew in pick No. 58; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jack Endries
By-the-book stuff, Jack Endries at the 92nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127 Rnd4 CJ Daniels
They paid sticker price for CJ Daniels in Round 4, Pick 27, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick133 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
They let Keylan Rutledge come to them and pounced at pick 133. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138 Rnd4 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at No. 138 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
The board had Xavier Nwankpa higher than pick 171, and the safety fell to them anyway. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
