Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the 49ers: B-.

Nobody else had Jaren Kanak anywhere near pick 171. The 49ers did, by 54 spots, and that gap is the whole story. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Thieneman.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In the 26th pick they get a long-term starter on the line, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dillon Thieneman at pick No. 59. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick90 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
No drama and no debate, Nicholas Singleton went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at pick 127 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133 Rnd4 Charles Jagusah
They paid sticker price for Charles Jagusah in slot 133, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138 Rnd4 Chase Roberts
They talked themselves into Chase Roberts at Round 4, Pick 38, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jaren Kanak
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaren Kanak well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
