Keats DRAFTING FOR THE49ers

Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall

FutureB-
The 49ers robbed the room for Mukuba. Final grade: B. You build a draft on nights like this. Andrew Mukuba had no business being available in the Round 4 slot, and the 49ers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
Every board in the league had Hawes lower, and that gap is the story. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Josh Simmons
In the 17th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
A reach on TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick49
Rnd2
Bradyn Swinson
They liked Bradyn Swinson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 49. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the 75th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jaylin Noel
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaylin Noel in pick No. 99. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112
Rnd4
Danny Stutsman
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Danny Stutsman in slot 112, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick118
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at Round 4, Pick 17 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick138
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at No. 138 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139
Rnd4
Dillon Gabriel
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dillon Gabriel at Round 4, Pick 38. It fills a real need, too.
Pick148
Rnd5
Terrance Ferguson
Taking Terrance Ferguson in slot 148 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick154
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
They paid a round early for Jonah Monheim in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick189
Rnd6
JJ Pegues
They let JJ Pegues come to them and pounced at the 189th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick228
Rnd7
Mac McWilliams
Mac McWilliams at pick No. 228 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick232
Rnd7
Jackson Hawes
They talked themselves into Jackson Hawes at pick 232, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick255
Rnd7
Jaylin Lane
Jaylin Lane in No. 255 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
