Episode 49: Deebo and Draft Sleepers

Welcome to Football: A Podcast. 

Don't say we didn't warn you, 49ers fans. The Deebo Samuel trade request can be viewed as the result of 15 consecutive months of poor personnel decisions. Kyle Shanahan the coach is undermined by Kyle Shanahan the GM and this is the most obvious example yet. 

NFL teams' increasingly cutthroat approach to foundational pieces of their rosters likely helped pushed Deebo into seeking his big payday ASAP. 

We spend most of the episode, however, discussing our favorite draft sleepers discovered while watching tape for last week's "We're-the-GM" Episode. 

Players evaluated: Alec Pierce, Kevin Austin Jr., Marcus Jones, Isaiah Likely, Zamir White, Nik Bonitto, Velus Jones Jr., Cam Taylor-Britt, Jelani Woods, Jerome Ford, Tyler Smith, and Breece Hall.

Lastly, we highlight the teams that will be in the best and worst positions to help their franchise next Thursday.
