Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The 49ers reached some 36 spots for Skyler Gill-Howard, and value like that does not grow back. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. Landing Slaughter that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
They paid a round early for Olaivavega Ioane in pick 27, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at the 58th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Caden Curry
A reach on Caden Curry in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick96 Rnd3 Skyler Gill-Howard
Skyler Gill-Howard at pick No. 96 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick133 Rnd4 Kage Casey
They took Kage Casey at par in the 133rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick138 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
Value said wait; Oscar Delp in slot 138 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
