NFL Draft 2015: 49ers Draft a Punter, Bradley Pinion

The San Francisco 49ers shocked absolutely no one in trading down in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL Draft and also picking up a seventh-round pick. After all, Trent Baalke absolutely loves to trade (especially down) and pick up more draft picks whenever he can.

The shocker, however, was that the 49ers selected a PUNTER with the fifth-round pick they got from the Indianapolis Colts. With the 29th pick in the fifth round and 165th pick overall, the 49ers drafted Bradley Pinion, a punter out of Clemson.

Pinnion is a solid punter, but like almost every punter ever, was not projected to go before the 7th round.
