Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
The 49ers kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The 49ers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick No. 90 on Akheem Mesidor a full 47 spots early.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Slaughter. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

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

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a long-term starter on the line, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
They will replay Jake Slaughter at the 59th pick for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90 Rnd3 Akheem Mesidor
Value said wait; Akheem Mesidor in slot 90 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick129 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
They left a pile of value on the table to take Skyler Gill-Howard this early at pick 129. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Chris Johnson
They read the board right and Chris Johnson was the payoff at No. 133. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick138 Rnd4 Iapani Laloulu
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Iapani Laloulu well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor at No. 171 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
