Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers cashed the board's mistake on Singleton: B.

Call it larceny. Nicholas Singleton sat on the board until pick 247, and the 49ers did not need to be asked twice.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Lachey pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 17th overall pick they get a disruptive interior force at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
The board had Mykel Williams higher than Round 2, Pick 16, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick79 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at pick No. 79 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick101 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They barely believed it either: Andrew Mukuba still on the board at slot 101. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick115 Rnd4 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard in No. 115 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick137 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick193 Rnd6 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at pick 193 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick231 Rnd7 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at the 231st pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick247 Rnd7 Nicholas Singleton
Circle this one: Nicholas Singleton at slot 247 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Taking Phil Mafah in pick No. 249 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick254 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
A reach for Luke Lachey in the 254th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
