You know, for a team that had the vision to see what Brock Purdy could become after making him Mr. Irrelevant, their foresight should have served them way better than committing the cardinal sin of taking a kicker with the 99th pick.

The San Francisco 49ers will likely play close games all season. With that in mind, an unreliable kicking game needs to be addressed without delay.
