Kyle Posey is the Senior Producer at Niners Nation and has covered the 49ers since 2019. Kyle was an FCS wide receiver in college and has coached high school football for 8+ years. He's written for several sites and appeared on numerous podcasts. His extensive football history, paired with an accounting background, helps Kyle take an analytical and statistical approach to breaking down and covering the Niners.
In his second season as the New York Jets head coach, Robert Saleh selected cornerback Sauce Gardner at No. 4 overall over pass rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux.
If Saleh goes to John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan and says, “For my defense to be the best of the best, I need an elite cornerback,” then the 49ers have no choice but to see if there is one in the upcoming NFL Draft.
