Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the 49ers: B-.

The war room fell hard for Keaten Wade, and it showed at slot 171: 112 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. That Raridon pick is the receipt they will wave around later. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In the 27th pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Omar Cooper Jr.. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92 Rnd3 Genesis Smith
Good price on Genesis Smith in pick 92, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick127 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge in slot 127 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Eli Raridon worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick138 Rnd4 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor at pick No. 138 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171 Rnd5 Keaten Wade
A big swing on Keaten Wade at slot 171, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
