Peter King, like Chris Simms, is one of the media people that has very close connections to the 49ers. He was in the war room in their first draft back in 2017. In 2018, days after Simms is the first to mock McGlinchey to the 49ers and suggest trading Trent Brown, Peter King is second to echo the pick, which was crazy at the time since NOBODY but Simms had connected McGlinchey to the 49ers. Last year, he said the 49ers wanted a big-body in the middle of the DL and that the 49ers had their eyes on Kinlaw.
If Maiocco picks Mac Jones in his final mock, it's a wrap. Enough information has come out to those guys that they know the 49ers love Mac Jones.
Was Simms really in the war room? Don't recall that all.
Simms has been somewhat right, but mostly that's because he knows KS. If KS is telling him our picks, there's no way that Simms would break his trust that badly. Maybe he got away with in 2018, but he wouldn't tell him s**t after that if he broke that trust.
He's just gotten "lucky" because he knows KS so well, they are very good friends. But I highly doubt that KS is allowing Sims to leak our draft picks before the draft. Makes no sense.
