49ers 2026 Draft Draws Cautious Grades Across Eight Selections

San Francisco wrapped eight picks in the 2026 NFL draft and, per Dane Brugler's The Beast, the class appears underwhelming. Each selection is paired with a brief note and a grade (Stribling C, Height B, Black F, Helton C, Willis D, Prysock C, Dugger C, Cruz D) and the overall class grade is D+, signaling that the group may not provide the high-end help the aging roster needs, though a few picks could prove valuable with development.

Patriots land Gabe Jacas at 55, hoping for immediate edge impact

New England moved up from 63 to 55 to draft Illinois edge Gabe Jacas, giving up a 4th-round pick (131) and a 6th-round pick (202). Analysts graded the pick highly, highlighting Jacas’s run-stopping ability, pass rush, and 27 career sacks with seven forced fumbles, plus a wrestling background that could aid immediate contribution as the Patriots address edge, TE, and LB needs with their next selection at No. 95.

Patriots land Caleb Lomu at 28 to anchor the offensive line

New England used the 28th pick to take Utah left tackle Caleb Lomu, moving up for his athletic profile and potential to eventually replace Morgan Moses on the right side. Analysts gave mixed grades (mostly B to C+), praising his pass protection and upside while noting run-block strength and the need to adjust to a possible position switch and gap-scheme run emphasis. Lomu is viewed as a long-term starter who’ll develop behind Moses, with the team signaling an athletic, flexible approach on the offensive line.

Big Free Agency Grades Reshape the 2026 NFL Landscape

Two weeks into 2026 NFL free agency, this piece grades all 32 teams on whether moves made them better and optimized cap space. The top marks go to Kansas City (A-) for trading Trent McDuffie for multiple draft picks and landing Kenneth Walker, and to Carolina (A-) for three cost-efficient additions (Jaelan Phillips, Devin Lloyd, Rasheed Walker) for under $50 million combined. Other notable grades include the Raiders (A-), Saints (B+), Patriots (B), Jets (B), Giants (B), and Rams (B+), while the Cardinals land a D for a scattered path forward. The spread—from A- to D—highlights a mix of asset-light upgrades via cap discipline and bold, long-term bets, versus moves aimed at immediate contention. Overall, the league shows broad strategic variety: some teams maximize draft leverage and efficiency, others embrace expensive veteran bets or lean into rebuilds.
