The 49ers didn't get the best draft grades, but you shouldn't GAF about that.

0:00.0	Good morning. Welcome to 49ers in 5, your daily update on everything happening with the team that you need to know.
0:12.6	I'm Rob Stats Guerrera. Today's Tuesday, April 30th, 24. Here's what's happening with your San Francisco 49ers.
0:21.6	I, like you, spent most of yesterday scouring the internet for 49ers draft grades.
0:27.7	And I, like you, probably saw that most of the grades were not really in love with what the 49ers did in this year's draft.
0:36.2	Sporting news gave them a C minus.
0:38.5	Mel Kuiper was a little nicer. He gave them a B minus. He said they reached for Ricky Pearsall.
0:44.2	They reached for Bernardo Green. Got me thinking, how much stocks should we put in these grades?
0:49.8	What did they say about the 49ers draft? Say, in 2020,

1:13.5	In 2022, PFF gave the Niners a B-plus Danny Kelly and Nate Davis said B minus. That class featured a whole lot of nothing except Brock Purdy, who wasn't on anybody's
1:19.8	radar at the time and clearly wasn't part of anybody's evaluation. What is my point of all this?
1:26.4	Forget draft grades. If those same people couldn't tell
1:30.6	that 2022 and 2023 were terrible draft classes for the 49ers, how can we trust their opinion
1:37.5	on this year's draft class, right? Draft grades are like melted ice cream. They literally
1:43.9	do not matter the second after they were posted.
1:48.3	The 49ers picked the players they picked.
1:50.6	They're in the building.
1:51.9	Now it's all about what can they do while they're here
