The 2020 NFL Draft is done and dusted, and the San Francisco 49ers have their new rookies (and one veteran) to groom for future success. Niner Noise grades them and the other 31 teams on their respective draft hauls.

It was a wild 2020 NFL Draft, and the San Francisco 49ers may have had the wildest ride of all the teams in the NFL.

With a bunch of wheeling and dealing, the 49ers managed to find replacements for their major holes on an otherwise talented roster and free up a little cap space doing it.

Meanwhile, in other cities around the country, 31 NFL teams were on their own NFL Draft journeys. Some teams had fans jumping for joy, while other fans were left wondering what in the hell had just happened.

For San Francisco fans, the attitude seems to be mostly towards the former with the NFL Draft haul the 49ers got. The one exception was the announced retirement of veteran left tackle Joe Staley, one of the greatest players who ever took the field for the red and gold. That was a bit of a shocker, although there were reports sifting through leading up to the draft anyway. Still, it added yet another wrinkle to San Francisco’s own draft plans.

We’ll get to the Niners in due time, but we also have 31 other teams to look at as well.

While technically you can’t exactly judge an NFL Draft class this early, it’s not particularly fun to use things like hindsight and other killjoy tools like that. We look at the value of the picks, the team needs heading into the draft itself and any other considerations that need to be taken in.

So with that, here’s the 32-team hauls of the 2020 NFL Draft all graded up.
