Looking back on the 49ers draft graders
Everyone agrees that you can’t tell how well a draft went until at least three or four years have passed. But everyone grades a draft right away anyway, even though they just told you it was a stupid idea.

Just to refresh your memory, here is the complete 2015 draft class. (Keep in mind that the team had just lost both starting CBs, two of four starting linebackers, and the DL’s Smith brothers-from-other-mothers, Aldon and Justin.)
