NFL Draft: 49ers make Jake Moody highest drafted kicker since Roberto Aguayo in 2016

The San Francisco 49ers must really like Michigan kicker Jake Moody.

The 49ers didn't have a lot of high picks in this draft. They didn't pick in the first two rounds. Their three picks in the third round were 87th, 99th and 101st. They had to be smart with their choices.

Also, kickers don't go in the first three rounds. Since the Tampa Bay Buccaneers drafted Roberto Aguayo in the second round of the 2016 draft, no other team has drafted a kicker in the first three rounds.
