Now that the first round of the NFL Draft came and went without incident before another week and change allowed the dust to settle, it’s become clearer and clearer that Deebo Samuel will almost definitely be on the San Francisco 49ers’ roster for the foreseeable future.

One of the smartest observations that I’ve ever heard about negotiating — or just about anything in general — is that the most successful negotiations should leave both sides a little bit uncomfortable.
