Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the 49ers.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Billy Schrauth at pick 58 is 53 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. On value alone, Kilgore makes the weekend a net positive.

Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In the 27th overall pick they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Billy Schrauth
Billy Schrauth in the Round 2 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Joe Royer
They let Joe Royer come to them and pounced at Round 4, Pick 27. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Value with a capital V on Jalon Kilgore in pick No. 133, a genuine coup. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick138 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover at the 138th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick139 Rnd4 Malik Benson
No drama and no debate, Malik Benson went about where he belonged in No. 139. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
