Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers won the night they stopped Klubnik from sliding. Grade: B-.

When a board-topper like Cade Klubnik slides to slot 134, you do not overthink it, and the 49ers did not. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. They are betting Roberts proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts in No. 57 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
You do not let a tight end like Eli Stowers reach Round 3, Pick 27 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
They paid sticker price for Tacario Davis in pick 126, and that is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick134 Rnd4 Cade Klubnik
Cade Klubnik at slot 134 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick139 Rnd4 Eugene Wilson III
A tidy little value on Eugene Wilson III in the 139th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick140 Rnd4 Terry Moore
Terry Moore in pick No. 140 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
