Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Isaac Rex at the Round 7 slot is 71 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hart. The Hart pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman and quarterback still on the board. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
Good price on Amarius Mims in the 31st pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick63 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
Nice patience on T.J. Tampa, who had no business lasting to pick No. 63. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick94 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in the 94th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cam Hart
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman and quarterback to take Cam Hart, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick131 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Roger Rosengarten. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick133 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
A conviction pick on Luke McCaffrey at No. 133 that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick176 Rnd6 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in the 176th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Solomon Byrd
Solomon Byrd in Round 6, Pick 36 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick215 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A reach for Frank Gore Jr. in pick 215; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick251 Rnd7 Isaac Rex
Value said wait; Isaac Rex in pick No. 251 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
