Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers let Starks fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Malaki Starks, the 75th overall pick, roughly 48 picks past where he belonged. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The cost of the Rucker reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get an anchor for the offensive line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at slot 43 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick75 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
They barely believed it either: Malaki Starks still on the board at the 75th pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick100 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
A conviction pick on Smael Mondon Jr. at pick No. 100 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Kaimon Rucker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kaimon Rucker well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick138 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
A reach on Luke Kandra in No. 138; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Riley Leonard
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Riley Leonard at the 147th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick160 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
They took Kalel Mullings at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
Bru McCoy in No. 227 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick249 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
They went early on Marcus Yarns in slot 249, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick252 Rnd7 Maxen Hook
Maxen Hook in the Round 7 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
