A first-round receiver is listed as a ‘name to watch’ for the 49ers
Niners Nation • • sports
Key Points:
- The 49ers face a potential challenge with their current offensive tackle, Williams, who will turn 38 in July and lacks a clear long-term successor on the roster.
- The team may consider drafting an offensive tackle early if a starter-caliber player is available, though historically they have only picked one tackle in the first round since 2017.
- An ideal draft prospect would be someone who can immediately compete for the left guard position and eventually transition to offensive tackle.
- Despite the need at tackle, the 49ers do not prioritize this position in the first round and have shown significant interest in wide receivers during mock drafts.
- Texas A&M wide receiver KC Concepcion is a notable name linked to the 49ers in recent draft discussions.
