Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers let Lachey 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. Luke Lachey, the No. 105 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 127th overall pick. The bottom line is a respectable B.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. They are betting Collins proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
No drama and no debate, Kenneth Grant went about where he belonged in No. 31. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick63 Rnd2 Earnest Greene III
By-the-book stuff, Earnest Greene III at slot 63 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick95 Rnd3 Blake Miller
A slide stopped in pick 95, with Blake Miller worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127 Rnd4 Luke Lachey
A tight end of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 31 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick159 Rnd5 TJ Ferguson
Fair-plus on TJ Ferguson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick191 Rnd6 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the 191st overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick223 Rnd7 Colbie Young
The board had Colbie Young higher than the Round 7 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
