49ers draft preview: Buck tradition to draft cornerback in first round?

Third-and-15. It’s a play branded into 49ers lore for how a cornerback’s gaffe could snowball into a Super Bowl collapse.

And it could be weighing on the 49ers’ minds as they enter the draft.

Error 0:

Emmanuel Moseley, despite his blown coverage on a third-and-15 heave, does not alone shoulder the blame for the 49ers’ Super Bowl LIV defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs. So many others factored into it.

On the other side of the 49ers’ defense, Richard Sherman later allowed a deep completion into the red zone, similar to a catch in the NFC Championship Game.
