Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers let Singleton fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the 49ers were there to profit. Nicholas Singleton, the No. 100 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 186th pick.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They will need Grant to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
A straight-up fair deal on Princely Umanmielen at slot 11, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A tidy bit of business in the 43rd overall pick, where Kenneth Grant graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at No. 75 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick100 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
They paid sticker price for Ajani Cornelius in pick 100, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick112 Rnd4 Azareye'h Thomas
Nice patience on Azareye'h Thomas, who had no business lasting to the Round 4 slot. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick137 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Taking Jake Majors in the 137th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
You do not let a running back like Nicholas Singleton reach Round 6, Pick 11 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
