Giants claim 49ers’ sixth-round pick, TE Kaden Smith

The San Francisco 49ers waived the first of their three sixth-round draft picks in April, tight end Kaden Smith, on Saturday to
promote running back Jeff Wilson from the practice squad. It's likely the 49ers hoped to have Smith replace Wilson on the practice squad.
That won't happen now.
The New York Giants have claimed Smith after waiving running back Paul Perkins, according to Field Yates of ESPN.
The 6-foot-5 and 255-pound Smith caught 47 passes for 635 yards with two touchdowns as a junior at Stanford in 2018. He registered 70 receptions for 1,049 yards with seven touchdowns over the past two seasons with the Cardinal.
Smith caught four passes for 44 yards in four appearances with the 49ers during the preseason.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters on Tuesday that the San Francisco 49ers plan to put another waiver claim on Takkarist McKinley. The Atlanta Falcons waived the defensive end last week and he was claimed by the Cincinnati Bengals.

"I was told today that Take failed his physical," Shanahan said, "and I know we put in a claim last time. I don't think that's until tomorrow at 1 (pm PT), but I know we plan on putting another claimer in."
