Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the 49ers a B.

The Kingsley Eguakun pick is the one that will follow the 49ers into the fall. They took him 84 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Legette. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 31st pick they get a blindside protector, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Xavier Legette in Round 2, Pick 31, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Trey Benson
A tidy little value on Trey Benson in pick No. 94, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
A premium they did not need to pay, Jarrian Jones a notch or two before his time. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick131 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
By-the-book stuff, Ben Sinnott at No. 131 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick133 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
They went early on Justin Eboigbe in pick 133, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick176 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett at No. 176 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick215 Rnd6 Kingsley Eguakun
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kingsley Eguakun this early at the Round 6 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick218 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Good price on Nathaniel Watson in Round 6, Pick 43, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick228 Rnd7 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl at the 228th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick251 Rnd7 Marcellas Dial
Nice patience on Marcellas Dial, who had no business lasting to pick No. 251. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
