Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers won the night they stopped Cooper Jr. from sliding. Grade: B.

When a board-topper like Omar Cooper Jr. slides to slot 92, you do not overthink it, and the 49ers did not.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Reaching for Bisontis left real value on the table behind him.

Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
No edge and no loss on Caleb Lomu in the 27th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick58 Rnd2 Chase Bisontis
They paid up for Chase Bisontis at the 58th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
Somehow Omar Cooper Jr. was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 28, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127 Rnd4 Will Lee III
Will Lee III is a better player than slot 127 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick133 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jakobe Thomas
Jakobe Thomas at pick No. 138 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick139 Rnd4 Chris McClellan
Chris McClellan in pick 139 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
