Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
Echoles should have been long gone. The 49ers pounced, and earned a B.

Call it larceny. Will Echoles sat on the board until pick No. 58, and the 49ers did not need to be asked twice.

A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. Luckie has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They went 5 of 6 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Ahmad Hardy
In pick No. 28 they get a lead back with juice at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick58 Rnd2 Will Echoles
They barely believed it either: Will Echoles still on the board at pick 58. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick92 Rnd3 Nyck Harbor
Nyck Harbor at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kade Pieper
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kade Pieper at the 106th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jayden Jackson
Jayden Jackson at Round 4, Pick 27 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick133 Rnd4 Drake Lindsey
No edge and no loss on Drake Lindsey in No. 133; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick138 Rnd4 Mateen Ibirogba
No drama and no debate, Mateen Ibirogba went about where he belonged in the 138th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick165 Rnd5 Lawson Luckie
A premium they did not need to pay, Lawson Luckie a notch or two before his time. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Drew Bobo
The board fumbled Drew Bobo all the way to slot 171, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
