49ers Pre-Draft Visit with WR Denzel Boston
The San Francisco 49ers are gearing up for the draft, and one name catching their eye is Washington's wide receiver, Denzel Boston. Standing tall at 6-foot-4 and weighing in at 212 pounds, Boston fits the mold of an outside target that head coach Kyle Shanahan might find intriguing. Coming off an impressive 2025 season, Boston racked up 62 receptions for 881 yards and 11 touchdowns, showcasing his potential to make a splash in the NFL.
Evaluating Receiver Prospects: Bell's Potential
When it comes to evaluating wide receivers, Kyle Shanahan has an eye for detail. The focus on Bell, a receiver just under 6-foot and 190 pounds, centers around his hands and size.
Despite 24 drops over four college seasons, he only had four in 2025, suggesting improvement. Shanahan values the gauntlet drill at the combine, not just for catches but for fluidity and comfort.
Bell's performance was solid, but whether he fits as an outside receiver or is more suited for the slot could determine his draft position. Indiana’s Elijah Surratt might also be on Shanahan's radar, given his strong skill set.
49ers' Interest in RB T.J. Harden
The 49ers are also eyeing SMU's running back T.J. Harden, who impressed with 171 carries for 787 rushing yards and nine touchdowns last season.
Averaging 4.6 yards per attempt, Harden also showcased versatility with 19 receptions for 99 yards and a touchdown. His ability to contribute in multiple facets makes him an appealing prospect for San Francisco.
Former 49er Brian Robinson Jr. Heads to Falcons
As Brian Robinson Jr. prepares to join the Falcons, the 49ers are left with a reshuffled backfield. Behind star running back Christian McCaffrey, the depth chart now features Jordan James, Isaac Guerendo, and Patrick Taylor.
Offensive Line Adjustments in Free Agency
The 49ers have been busy addressing their offensive line needs through free agency. At left guard, Jones serves as a temporary solution.
With six picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, including the 27th overall, the 49ers may seek further reinforcements. Jones, who started all 17 games for the Dolphins in 2024, brings experience but leaves room for potential upgrades.
Draft Prospects: Fisher and Davis
Aiden Fisher from Indiana is a linebacker who stands out for his craftiness in navigating through blockers. His ability to reach the ball carrier despite traffic makes him an exciting prospect, though his coverage skills need some polishing.
J.C. Davis, an offensive tackle from Illinois, could transition to guard due to his 6’4” stature.
With a quick first step and solid length, Davis is a promising lineman. While he might not dominate, his skill set is one that teams would be eager to add, especially in the fourth round.
His eagerness can be honed, making him a reliable addition to any roster.
