The San Francisco 49ers selected safety Marques Sigle of Kansas State with the 160th overall pick in the NFL Draft. This is the pick the Niners got when they traded running back Jordan Mason to the Minnesota Vikings.
Sigle is 5’11, 3/8, and 199 pounds. He had an 86th percentile 10-yard split and ran a 4.37 40-yard dash. His broad jump was also in the 90th percentile. So, the athleticism is well above average.
Sigle is a fifth-year senior who came up big for Kansas State time and time again in the biggest moments. I watched him while watching the Wildcats’ cornerback, Jacob Parrish. Sigle had 46 tackles last season, and 24 of those were run stops. Playing the run is his best quality, which might signal that he’s better suited on special teams — especially with that athleticism. He did give up five touchdowns in coverage, including his fair share of long plays.
Sigle played 61 percent of his snaps in the slot last season. He allowed 18 completions on 42 targets. He did miss 18 percent of his tackle attempts during his two years of playing time.
The current cast of safeties on the roster consists of Malik Mustapha, Ji’Ayir Brown, Richie Grant, Jason Pinnock, and George Odum. After Brown, most of those names are primarily special teamers. Sigle falls into the special teamer group.
