Draft Grade — 49ers

Grand theft in the 211th pick: the 49ers steal McCaffrey and grade out a B.

The 49ers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Luke McCaffrey fell into Round 6, Pick 36. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They are betting McMahon proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the 31st overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Somehow Xavier Legette was still sitting there in No. 63, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick94 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in pick No. 94 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick124 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
They liked Roger Rosengarten enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
They reached a country mile for Jaheim Bell at the 131st pick, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick133 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at slot 133 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick176 Rnd6 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Taking Tyrone Tracy Jr. in pick 176 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick211 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in Round 6, Pick 36 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick215 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Nice patience on Joe Milton III, who had no business lasting to pick 215. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick251 Rnd7 Dylan McMahon
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dylan McMahon this early at slot 251. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
