At least the San Francisco 49ers managed to create slightly better value in Round 4 of the 2019 NFL Draft, trading down from the No. 104 overall pick with the Cincinnati Bengals, then grabbing Utah punter Mitch Wishnowsky with the No. 110 overall selection.
Wishnowsky was the first specialist taken in the 2019 draft — awfully shocking, considering there was still a good chunk of slipping talent available to general manager John Lynch and Co.
And while the Niners had a need at the position, following punter Bradley Pinion’s departure in free agency to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it’s not hard to understand why using a fourth-round selection on Wishnowsky was a complete and total reach.
