Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named wide receiver, a need the 49ers walked right past.

The cost of the Lomu reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In slot 27 they get a building block for the line, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Connor Lew
Connor Lew in No. 58 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Gabe Jacas
They paid sticker price for Gabe Jacas in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
