You build a draft on nights like this. Max Klare had no business being available in the 127th pick, and the 49ers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. The Lawrence reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.27 · Pick 27 · Caleb Lomu · OT · rank 28
In pick No. 27 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Malachi Lawrence · DE-EDGE · rank 71
They paid up for Malachi Lawrence at slot 58 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Max Klare · TE · rank 78
Max Klare at No. 127 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Parker Brailsford · C · rank 130
They did well to land Parker Brailsford in pick 133, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.38 · Pick 138 · Kaleb Proctor · DL · rank 135
Kaleb Proctor in the 138th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.39 · Pick 139 · Will Lee III · CB · rank 124
Will Lee III slid further than he should have, and Round 4, Pick 39 is lovely value for the cornerback. A minor need, but a need all the same.
