Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The 49ers took Nadame Tucker a full 41 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

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 Banks.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
They read the board right and Caleb Banks was the payoff at Round 2, Pick 26. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick92 Rnd3 Bryce Lance
Value said wait; Bryce Lance in pick 92 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127 Rnd4 Nadame Tucker
Nadame Tucker in the 127th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick133 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams in pick No. 133 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon in the 138th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
Aaron Anderson at pick No. 171 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
