Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the 49ers a B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The 49ers took Tim Keenan III at pick No. 124, roughly 31 spots before his name belonged.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Mauigoa falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In pick 24 they get a building block for the line, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Connor Lew
The board had Connor Lew higher than No. 56, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick88 Rnd3 Brian Parker II
No edge and no loss on Brian Parker II in slot 88; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tim Keenan III
Tim Keenan III at the Round 4 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling slid further than he should have, and pick No. 135 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139 Rnd4 Austin Romaine
They took Austin Romaine at par in Round 4, Pick 39, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick140 Rnd4 Justin Joly
Justin Joly in the 140th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
