The San Francisco 49ers signed former New Orleans Saints cornerback Isaac Yiadom to a one-year contract worth up to $3 million. Yiadom’s signing bonus was $1.375 million, which doesn’t scream “starter” money.

Yiadom is 28 and entering his seventh season. More importantly, he’s one hundred ninety pounds, and ultimate season was the first time he had performed greater than 13 video games in view that entering the league in 2018. Between injuries and the put on and tear from enjoying in the league, it’s unlikely that Yiadom is the long-term answer throughout from Mooney.

Deommodore Lenoir’s contract is up after this season, making cornerback a 12 months away from being a pressing need.

He rarely misplaced a 50/50 ball, so pronouncing Wiggins lacks play electricity is pure projection. I believe he’s one of the ten quality players in the draft and has a risk to be a top-10 cornerback in the NFL quicker rather than later.

Signing Yiadom gives the 49ers the freedom to take the pleasant player early in the draft. Relying on a rookie cornerback takes patience and a plan. The Chiefs had one for Trent McDuffie. A talent like Wiggins ought to be the lacking piece to an already talent-heavy defense.
