From the article

The 49ers didn't have a first-round pick after trading down twice, and shocked many by picking receiver De'Zhaun Stribling to start the second round, then again when they took running back Kaelon Black. The 49ers often go against the grain in the draft, and this time it sparked a debate about consensus boards. The unconventional approach is a reason the 49ers' combined draft grade among experts ranked 30th.

Black's second-round selection shocked observers; 49ers draft ranked 30th.

Black was selected by the 49ers in the second round after Stribling, shocking many observers and sparking debate about consensus boards; the pick contributed to the 49ers' draft being widely panned and receiving a combined 30th-place grade among experts (though Yahoo Sports was more generous with a B-).
