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

Nobody else had Zane Durant anywhere near No. 127. The 49ers did, by 46 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They banked enough surplus on Hurst to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get the heartbeat of the defense at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Michael Taaffe
A tidy bit of business in the 58th overall pick, where Michael Taaffe graded well above the range. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick95 Rnd3 Sam Hecht
Sam Hecht is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127 Rnd4 Zane Durant
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zane Durant well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
A slide stopped in No. 133, with Keylan Rutledge worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick138 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens at pick 138 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at pick 171 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick189 Rnd6 Eric McAlister
Eric McAlister at slot 189 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
