Gunslingerob209 DRAFTING FOR THE49ers

Draft Grade — 49ers

FutureB-
The 49ers let Taaffe fall and pounced. Final grade: B-. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Michael Taaffe, No. 92, roughly 19 picks past where he belonged.
They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Allar has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.
Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
KC Concepcion
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58
Rnd2
D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick92
Rnd3
Michael Taaffe
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 92 is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick127
Rnd4
Parker Brailsford
Good price on Parker Brailsford in the 127th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick133
Rnd4
Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover at pick 133 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138
Rnd4
Drew Allar
They paid up for Drew Allar at slot 138 when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171
Rnd5
Febechi Nwaiwu
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Febechi Nwaiwu. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
