The 49ers did not so much draft Max Bredeson as overpay for him, 114 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

They banked enough surplus on Stukes to cover a lot of smaller sins. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Hit on Gabe Jacas and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.27 · Pick 27 · Gabe Jacas · LB-EDGE · rank 52
They reached into another round for Gabe Jacas, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Elijah Sarratt · WR · rank 77
They reached a country mile for Elijah Sarratt at the 59th pick, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Treydan Stukes · CB · rank 96
Circle this one: Treydan Stukes at pick 127 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · J.C. Davis · OT · rank 139
No edge and no loss on J.C. Davis in No. 133; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.39 · Pick 139 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 137
By-the-book stuff, DeMonte Capehart at pick No. 139 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.7 · Pick 147 · Dallen Bentley · TE · rank 200
A real head-scratcher, Dallen Bentley in the 147th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
R5.27 · Pick 167 · Charles Demmings · CB · rank 149
Somehow Charles Demmings was still sitting there in the 167th pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R6.28 · Pick 209 · Eli Heidenreich · WR · rank 240
Eli Heidenreich at Round 6, Pick 28 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.27 · Pick 243 · Max Bredeson · TE · rank 357
A wild overpay on Max Bredeson in slot 243, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
