49ers Shock Draft: No Cornerbacks Early

0:00On March 29th, the NFL draft is just weeks away, and the San Francisco 49ers are set on skipping a few key spots. Analyst Parker Hurley laid it out clear. No quarterbacks, no linebackers, and surprisingly, no cornerbacks early on. Quarterbacks and linebackers make sense. Their stack was starters and solid depth already. But cornerback? That's the curveball, especially after they grab Nate Hobbs, who flexes inside and out. Fans and experts are buzzing, because it flips the best player available script. Why chase talent there when you got the Amador Linoir, mixing in the slot, plus depth guys like Darryl Luder and Jacob Robinson holding down. Outside and nickel rolls? A rookie might just fight for 5th string minutes. This year's cornerback class has promised but plenty of risks. No surefire top 5 locks beyond maybe one guy, and prospects like Jermon McCoy carry. Injury baggage that makes teams hesitate. Keep eyes on the 49ers board. This April, they're prioritizing real holes over stacking an already deep broom, and that could shake up there.
