Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the 49ers.

For all the boxes ticked, the 49ers skipped the loudest one: running back is exactly as bare as it was. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

On value alone, Muhammad makes the weekend a net positive. The Parker II pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

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

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In pick No. 27 they get a long-term starter on the line, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Brian Parker II
Brian Parker II in the 58th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick92 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
Value with a capital V on Malik Muhammad in the 92nd overall pick, a genuine coup. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jakobe Thomas
By-the-book stuff, Jakobe Thomas at No. 127 squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick133 Rnd4 Eric Rivers
They did well to land Eric Rivers in slot 133, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138 Rnd4 Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol at pick 138 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171 Rnd5 Red Murdock
Red Murdock in Round 5, Pick 33 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
