Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall D
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The 49ers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

Some picks age like wine; Princewill Umanmielen at No. 133 will need to, sitting 141 spots clear of his grade.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. The Sapp steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and wide receiver is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In slot 26 they get protection for the quarterback, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jaeden Roberts
A conviction pick on Jaeden Roberts at No. 59 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90 Rnd3 Drew Shelton
Drew Shelton at pick 90 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Tyreak Sapp
They read the board right and Tyreak Sapp was the payoff at pick No. 127. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick133 Rnd4 Princewill Umanmielen
They reached a country mile for Princewill Umanmielen at the 133rd pick, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick138 Rnd4 Gracen Halton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Gracen Halton this early at the 138th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick171 Rnd5 Eric O'Neill
Eric O'Neill in the 171st overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
