Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Lander Barton at the 138th pick is 28 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Cooper Jr..

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In pick No. 27 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Good price on Jake Slaughter in slot 58, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick92 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
Value with a capital V on Omar Cooper Jr. in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge at the 127th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
A reach on Domani Jackson in No. 133; the board had better options right there. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick138 Rnd4 Lander Barton
Lander Barton at Round 4, Pick 38 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Raylen Wilson
A conviction pick on Raylen Wilson at the 171st overall pick that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
