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

Nobody had Jaren Kanak this high, and it is not close. The 49ers reached 87 spots to get him at the 138th pick.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. Landing Thieneman that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In the 26th overall pick they get a blindside protector, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A slide stopped in the 59th pick, with Dillon Thieneman worth more than the price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick90 Rnd3 Anto Saka
They left a pile of value on the table to take Anto Saka this early at pick No. 90. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick127 Rnd4 Blake Miller
They paid a round early for Blake Miller in slot 127, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick133 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
Value said wait; DeMonte Capehart in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jaren Kanak
They reached a country mile for Jaren Kanak at Round 4, Pick 38, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
Aaron Anderson in the 171st pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
