The San Francisco 49ers are one of those teams who simply have a knack for finding talent. Whether it's found in the later rounds of a draft, picking up another team's veteran who's been given up on or even undrafted free agents, they're just one of those teams.
They're also not afraid to go get top-tier talent via trade or the first round of the draft when they know what they want. In this case, the 49ers took a chance on selecting Ricky Pearsall in the first round of last year's draft even while boasting Brandon Aiyuk coming off a massive season.
