Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 127: the 49ers steal Wheatley and grade out a B.

Call it larceny. Zakee Wheatley sat on the board until No. 127, and the 49ers did not need to be asked twice. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Shelby has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In the 28th pick they get a matchup problem out wide, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Dontay Corleone
They robbed the room for Dontay Corleone here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick92 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Somehow Connor Lew was still sitting there in pick 92, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley in the 127th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick133 Rnd4 Blake Miller
Blake Miller at the Round 4 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd4 Demond Claiborne
Demond Claiborne in pick No. 139 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172 Rnd5 Braylan Shelby
They reached a country mile for Braylan Shelby at Round 5, Pick 33, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
