Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers let Golday fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jake Golday, the No. 61 name on the board, stolen at the Round 3 slot. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. The Bisontis pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In pick 27 they get a cornerstone up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Chase Bisontis
A premium they did not need to pay, Chase Bisontis a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Jake Golday at No. 92 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127 Rnd4 Will Lee III
Will Lee III is a better player than Round 4, Pick 27 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jakobe Thomas
Jakobe Thomas at pick No. 133 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick138 Rnd4 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels in the 138th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jaydn Ott
They paid a round early for Jaydn Ott in the 171st overall pick, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
