It's April 18th, you're listening to California News today, AI-powered local news. The 49ers just locked in Mike Evans and Christian Kirk, so you figure wide receiver is off the draft board. But this is Kyle Shanahan Squad, and he has a real thing for pass catchers. Word from rival GMs and ESPN's Matt Miller has San Francisco linked heavy to grabbing one at Pick 27 in the first round. Earlier this week, Mox keep pointing that way, despite the new vets. Up first round fits include Texas A&M's KC Concepts The Own. The quickest guy from standstill to full speed, perfect for releases and yards after catch. Indiana's Omar Cooper Jr. breaks tackles like nobody else, with sharp hands. Washington's Denzel Boston brings size for Red Zone scores and elite blocking, even if his speed dipped at the combine. Fans and scouts are buzzing because Shanahan loves versatile weapons. Second round targets like Ole Miss's Dijon's dribbling mix size, 4.36 speed, and power,

and he's already turning down 30 visits. Clemson's Antonio Williams shines with smarts and route savvy, while Georgia's Zachariah branch flashes elite acceleration despite his smaller frame. The Niners chatted with the few at the combine. Deeper into the draft, fourth round gems pop up too. Kentucky's Kendrick Law explodes off the line with sure hands, and rumors say the team digs him. Baylor's Josh Cameron bullies for contested balls and blocks hard. Even undrafted free agent types like North Texas's Cameron Dornor could sneak in with his highlight real grabs and production. Shanahan's history says, do not sleep on this. They might add speed and death no matter what, especially with the talent cliff after round two. Eyes on 27 and beyond.
