When the name Kentavius Street was announced to the San Francisco 49ers in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft, it was quickly followed by the notification that he was fresh-off a torn ACL. This brought memories of the Trent Baalke era and a seemingly disturbing amount of picks with knee injuries. It didn’t help skepticism when some draft reports had a fourth or fifth round grade—before the injury.
Well, maybe this will soften the blow: the 49ers weren’t the only team after Street in the fourth.
In an article appearing on in the MMQB, Peter King pointed out that the 49ers weren’t the only team considering Street in the 4th round:
