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

You build a draft on nights like this. Keionte Scott had no business being available in pick 92, and the 49ers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 27th pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Connor Lew
The board had Connor Lew higher than the 62nd overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick92 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
They will replay Keionte Scott at pick 92 for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick127 Rnd4 Charles Jagusah
A tidy little value on Charles Jagusah in No. 127, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Nice patience on Bryce Lance, who had no business lasting to the Round 4 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jakobe Thomas
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jakobe Thomas. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick139 Rnd4 Eric Rivers
Eric Rivers in slot 139 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick172 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
A straight-up fair deal on Oscar Delp at pick No. 172, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
