Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers robbed the room for Styles. Final grade: B-.

Somebody in the 92nd pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The 49ers sat still while Sonny Styles, the No. 37 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Caleb Banks
In pick No. 27 they get a disruptor off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A tidy bit of business in the 58th pick, where Dillon Thieneman graded well above the range. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick92 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in No. 92 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick127 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
They robbed the room for Zachariah Branch here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick133 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge in Round 4, Pick 33 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick138 Rnd4 Max Iheanachor
By-the-book stuff, Max Iheanachor at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick171 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Oscar Delp. The roster fit checks out.
