Regrading the 49ers 2019 NFL Draft Class

Every year after a draft, analysts quickly being assessing the talent acquired before a player even takes the field. But it isn't until players are in the league a few seasons before the real value of a draft class can be understood. Now two seasons removed from their selection into to the league, Pro Football Focus provided regrades for all 32 clubs from the 2019 NFL Draft. Originally graded as "Above Average," the 49ers were only one of six teams to land in the "Excellent" category. Here's what the analytics site had to say:

Round 1 (2): DL Nick Bosa, Ohio State
Round 2 (36): WR Deebo Samuel, South Carolina
Round 3 (67): WR Jalen Hurd, Baylor
Round 4 (110): P Mitch Wishnowsky, Utah
Round 5 (148): LB Dre Greenlaw, Arkansas
Round 6 (176): TE Kaden Smith, Stanford
Round 6 (183): OT Justin Skule, Vanderbilt
Round 6 (198): CB Tim Harris, Virginia

Then: Above Average
Now: Excellent

"Everyone knows the impact studs at the top of the draft — Nick Bosa and Deebo Samuel — but the 49ers also found a late-round gem in Dre Greenlaw."
