Christian McCaffrey's costly fumble in Super Bowl still weighs 'heavy' on 49ers' star, coach says
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey is widely regarded as one of the best players in the NFL. McCaffrey's and the 49ers' opening drive in this past February's Super Bowl looked promising — until the star running back committed a costly turnover a few yards shy of the red zone. The Kansas City Chiefs went on to defeat the 49ers in overtime, earning the right to the franchise's second consecutive Vince Lombardi Trophy. While more than three months have passed since the Super Bowl was played, the fumble appears to still weigh "heavy" on McCaffrey.

Expert Commentary
The Chiefs add some speed to their wide receiver room and some playmaking for Patrick Mahomes. This does feel a tad redundant with Marquise Brown on the roster, but that's only a one-year deal. Mahomes solves all problems, and having Rashee Rice on the roster is a nice changeup from the Brown and Worthy combo, but a 165-pound player in the first round is a bit of a tough sell.

Expert Commentary
One plus is not enough here — this is a potentially franchise-altering pick for the Chiefs here at the bottom of the second round. Suamataia is a bit raw, but he has legitimate franchise left tackle athleticism and movement ability. Throw him out there and let him grow into an elite tackle.
