Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers let Milum fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the 49ers were there to profit. Wyatt Milum, the No. 35 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 232nd overall pick.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick 11 they get a wrecking ball inside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Shemar Stewart
Circle this one: Shemar Stewart at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Armand Membou
Armand Membou at the 75th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
The board fumbled Jahdae Barron all the way to pick No. 99, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick112 Rnd4 Marcus Mbow
They barely believed it either: Marcus Mbow still on the board at No. 112. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138 Rnd4 Colston Loveland
A tight end of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 37 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick139 Rnd4 Walter Nolen
They will replay Walter Nolen at slot 139 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick189 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
You do not let a tight end like Oronde Gadsden II reach the 189th pick and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick228 Rnd7 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at pick 228 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick232 Rnd7 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in Round 7, Pick 14 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick255 Rnd7 Sebastian Castro
Steal is underselling it; Sebastian Castro at the 255th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
