Niners Shake Up Draft Plans, No First-Round WR

0:00It's March 30, I'm Cory with the story, and this is NFL News Today Football News powered by AI. The San Francisco 49ers are shaking things up ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft, with wide receiver on their radar, but not at the top. They hosted three top prospects, Denzel Boston, Omar Cooper, and K.C. Concepcion for pre-draft visits, hinting at early-round interest. But General Manager John Lynch shut that down quick in a recent presser, saying no first-round wide-out is in the plans right now. Lynch's words stand out since those visits screamed receiver-focus, but maybe none blew them away, or they're projected to go earlier. Fans and analysts are buzzing, wondering if it's a smoke screen or real pivot. He doubled down on confidence in their current receiver crew, which packs Mike Evans, Ricky Pier saw, Christian Kirk, plus Jordan Watkins, Demarcus, Robinson, and Jacob Cowling all battling for spots. That depth abys time, though Lynch flagged adding a left guard instead.
