Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the 49ers a B-.

The war room fell hard for Trevin Wallace, and it showed at pick No. 124: 110 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Fautanu.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the 31st pick they get a building block for the line, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Marshawn Kneeland
A premium they did not need to pay, Marshawn Kneeland a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
A reach on Andru Phillips in Round 3, Pick 31; the board had better options right there. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick124 Rnd4 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at pick 124 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in the 131st overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jared Wiley
A real head-scratcher, Jared Wiley in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick176 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at the 176th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick211 Rnd6 Erick All
A slide stopped in the 211th pick, with Erick All worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick215 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace at pick No. 215 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick251 Rnd7 Bub Means
A tidy little value on Bub Means in slot 251, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
