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

Boards are made to be trusted, and the 49ers shredded theirs for Roman Hemby. He came off 99 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Adding Christian Darrisaw by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick92 Rnd3 Malachi Lawrence
Malachi Lawrence at Round 3, Pick 28 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick127 Rnd4 Ted Hurst
A real head-scratcher, Ted Hurst in slot 127 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick133 Rnd4 Red Murdock
Red Murdock in the 133rd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick138 Rnd4 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at pick No. 138 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick171 Rnd5 Roman Hemby
They left a pile of value on the table to take Roman Hemby this early at pick 171. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick178 Rnd5 De'Zhaun Stribling
They talked themselves into De'Zhaun Stribling at the 178th pick, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
