Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers land in the muddy middle: C+.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the 49ers started one anyway for Trente Jones, 35 picks ahead of schedule.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Chris Braswell
In pick 31 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus in No. 63 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
They went early on Jalen McMillan in slot 94, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124 Rnd4 Caedan Wallace
The board had cheaper options than Caedan Wallace at the 124th overall pick, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132 Rnd4 AJ Barner
AJ Barner at Round 4, Pick 32 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick135 Rnd4 Trevin Wallace
They jumped the gun on Trevin Wallace, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick176 Rnd6 Decamerion Richardson
No drama and no debate, Decamerion Richardson went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick211 Rnd6 Bub Means
A premium they did not need to pay, Bub Means a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick215 Rnd6 Trente Jones
Trente Jones at Round 6, Pick 40 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick251 Rnd7 Carter Bradley
A big swing on Carter Bradley at the 251st overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
