Your San Francisco 49ers links for Sunday, April 27, 2019
It’s post draft day and now we can get to looking at training camp and what the 90-man roster will shape up to be. As far as the 49ers’ haul during the draft, it appears to be kind of mixed. Some think they made the right decisions based on the roster, while others are wondering what the hell the 49ers did after the Deebo Samuel pick.
I’m somewhat in the middle. I get a lot of the moves, but I keep telling myself “I hope it works out.” I do know that the 49ers have a surplus of safeties, which explains the lack of drafting one, but last year they ran out of all of them and had backups of backups playing. I know they needed a wide receiver, but did they really need two of them? Was Kendrick Bourne that bad? I like Jalen Hurd as a tight end, but there’s no guarantee that’s the plan for him.
I also know that those in the building will forget more about football than I’ll probably ever learn, so trust the process I suppose.
We’ll get going with some roster projections and get deeper into these prospects, but for now, have some links of Saturday:
