too lazy to do a search, but was there any other DE/EDGE that was available??
Peter king actually said there was two teams interested in him In the 4th (ATL/NO) so no we couldn't have waited until the end of the draft like you're saying

Both teams were smart enough to pass on him in the 4th round.
Or one of those teams could have tried to trade up into the end of the 4th and picked Street, this is getting ridiculous with the way people keep winning and complaining about picks, yet you haven't seen them play a down yet. Everyone is ready to call Street, Pettis and every other pick a reach or bust. It's getting annoying to be honest, people need to chill out, and realize that not every big name guy people loved will turn out to be who they thought they'd end up being.
Did you read the article? Both teams had a pick in the 4th round ahead of the 49ers both teams passed. That's all that we know for sure, they clearly didn't value him at their respective 4th round selections. If you can't see the 49ers did a lot of reaching in the 2018 draft I don't know what to tell you Not whining or complaining.
Just because a team drafts someone else, it doesn't mean the players they didn't draft didn't have the same draft grade. Just because we drafted Solomon Thomas at 3 last year, doesn't mean we wouldn't have drafted Foster if Thomas wasn't there.
Also, you know who wasn't accused of reaching a lot? Baalke. Every draft, all of the "experts" would say Baalkes picks were 1st round talents that dropped for one reason or the other. Remember the 2014 draft? It was considered a "deep" WR draft. So instead of drafting Marquis Lee, Allen Robinson, Davate Adams, Jarvis Landry, Moncrief, or John Brown. He drafted the highest rated (by the experts) RB in the draft (Hyde), the highest rated Center in the draft (Martin), and the highest rathed guard in the draft (Thomas) and was praised for still getting Ellington in the 4th which was praised by the "experts" as a great value pick.
I agree with you that Lynch and Shanahan don't seem to go for value but rather seem to target a player and take him regardless of what happened before that pick and who is still available. Only time will tell if that is a bad thing.
