49ers 2016 Draft Grade by SB NATION
NFL Draft grades 2016: Which teams won the draft?
1. DeForest Buckner, DE, Oregon
2. Joshua Garnett, G, Stanford
3 (68). Will Redmond, CB, Mississippi State
4 (133). Rashard Robinson, CB, LSU
5 (142). Ronald Blair, DE, Appalachian State
5 (145). John Theus, OT, Georgia
5 (174). Fahn Cooper, OT, Ole Miss
6 (207). Jeff Driskel, QB, Louisiana Tech
6 (211). Kelvin Taylor, RB, Florida
6 (213). Aaron Burbridge, WR, Michigan State
7 (249). Prince Charles Iworah, CB, Western Kentucky
Best pick: Buckner - Sometimes the expected pick can be a good one, and that's the case with Buckner. The Calais Campbell comparisons are legitimate.
Questionable pick: Garnett - He may very well become the team's starting left guard, but they gave up a lot to get him in the first round.
The 49ers took a lot of steps in replenishing their roster with this year's draft. They started things out in Chip Kelly's first season with a familiar face for him in defensive end DeForest Buckner. It's hard to bet against his power and size up front. They moved back into the first round to take Garnett, and gave up a steep price for him. If he turns into a good starter, though, it won't matter as much. Will Redmond in the third round is the cornerback the 49ers need. He's had some injury issues, but he can make plays. If Rashard Robinson's talent can be turned into something, the 49ers got an excellent value with the No. 133 pick. He's a risk because of off-field issues, but he has size and athleticism that can't be taught. The 49ers got a good value in the fifth round with defensive end Ronald Blair. He's a quick and powerful player who San Francisco could push out to linebacker. The 49ers waited a while to target the position, but got a solid quarterback in Jeff Driskel. He has good pure physical tools.
Overall grade: C+

Yeah, I gave them a B grade too .
Driskel was a surprise but we'll see how he does in camp.

Not surprising since Buckner, Blair, and Garnett were highly scored by their formula.
I'm really thinking about signing up for that site, I've become a believer
Apparent driskel worked with gaep chryst at Florida
i think blair was a steal, dude played all over the line in college. kinda reminds me of mcdonald, niners will need the d-line depth if the offense is impotent
this guy might be a steal, the size of a small te but in chips system he wont have to block much.

I thought it was a solid draft. Would've liked to have drafted an inside linebacker but overall this was a solid draft.

natural blondie like goku
If either Redmond or Robinson can start for us, then i'll say it's a solid draft. Cuz right now it's looking like we just added another two bodies to our bloated and mediocre cb corp. Maybe Blair can become a serviceable rotational guy too.
