Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedA TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The 49ers never addressed running back, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

However the rest shakes out, Walker at that price is a win they earned. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a building block for the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Good price on Tyler Booker in the 43rd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker is a better player than slot 75 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in pick 99 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
