That’s not surprising. After all, they didn’t have a pick until the end of round three due to previously using their first and second round picks in trades for Trey Lance and Christian McCaffrey. San Francisco also used a pick on a kicker which never goes over well with the draft value charts.
Here is a look at each of the 49ers selections and why the team made the selection.
Pick 87: Ji’Ayir Brown, Safety, Penn State
This was a terrific pick. San Francisco used three picks to grab the do it all safety from Penn State, sending 102, 164 and 222 to the Minnesota Vikings.
