The SF 49ers need edge-rushing help, and newly waived Takkarist McKinley could provide a boost on the cheap. With an added bonus.
The SF 49ers surely understand what the Atlanta Falcons just did with their top pick from the 2017 NFL Draft, EDGE Takkarist McKinley.
McKinley was part of multiple trade rumors leading up to the Nov. 3 deadline. So was former Niners wide receiver Dante Pettis, himself a high-round draft selection, albeit in Round 2 and a year later than McKinley.
