Instant 49ers. Could the San Francisco 49ers be targeting a cornerback?
When asked by a fan about a potential trade for a cornerback, Maiocco replied with the following:

One year after trade, 49ers continue to strike gold with Christian McCaffrey
It's safe to say the San Francisco 49ers' decision to trade for running back Christian McCaffrey in 2022 has worked out about as well as it possibly could have to this point.

The San Francisco 49ers have dominated through three games this season, outscoring opponents 92-42 en route to a 3-0 record, which only has been matched by two other teams in the NFL thus far.
Through three games, the 49ers have started strong, forcing opponents to implement more of a pass-heavy approach, while their opponents haven't been strong rushing teams as well.
