Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
More right than wrong for the 49ers, and a B to prove it.

The war room fell hard for Malik Mustapha, and it showed at slot 133: 37 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

On value alone, McCaffrey makes the weekend a net positive. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 31st pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
Good price on Malachi Corley in pick No. 63, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
No drama and no debate, Brandon Dorlus went about where he belonged in the 73rd overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick124 Rnd4 Chau Smith-Wade
No edge and no loss on Chau Smith-Wade in slot 124; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick131 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Mekhi Wingo reach No. 131 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick133 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha in Round 4, Pick 33 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick176 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Taking Luke McCaffrey in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick215 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
A clean, defensible pick in the 215th pick with a little surplus value in Caedan Wallace. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
