When R2-D2 bleep-blopped the pick of Kentavius Street to the San Francisco 49ers in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft, you could almost hear a unison of groans from the fanbase. Street was projected as a fourth or fifth round pick by some and a second rounder by others before tearing his ACL in a workout with the New York Giants, yet he was still taken within the same time frame.
So what gives? Well, according to Peter King, the 49ers weren’t the only team in the hunt for Street that day, but they were the only team to walk away with him.
