A week from today, we\u2019ll be talking about which prospect the San Francisco 49ers selected on the first night of the draft and looking at potential options for the team in the second round.<\/p>\n
The majority of the 49ers\u2019 30 visits<\/a> have been at one position. As of a week ago, at least. This week, it seems there are new prospects every day.<\/p>\n Trackers are difficult, as we don\u2019t know what qualifies as what. For example, the athletic\u2019s Matt Barrows said the 49ers were \u201cdoing a lot of work on Mike Washington\u201d on his podcast earlier this month. Washington is a running back out of Arkansas who is a big-play waiting to happen. He\u2019d be a great fit, but how do you quantify them doing work on a prospect other than interest?<\/p>\n Then there\u2019s the list of 15 or so prospects for whom the 49ers either attended their pro day or met with them there. Let\u2019s take Memphis offensive tackle Travis Burke, for example.<\/p>\n The fifth-year senior from a zone-heavy scheme who stands 6\u20198 3\/4 probably garners more interest from the team, potentially looking for the successor of a future Hall of Famer, than the semifinalist for the Lou Groza award, who they met with a month after extending Eddy Pineiro.<\/p>\n The 49ers\u2019 first-round draft picks under the current regime: Deebo Samuel was the fourth pick of the 2019 second round, while Dante Pettis was the 12th pick of the 2018 draft. John Lynch and the front office have shown us, through their words and actions, which positions they want to build this team around.<\/p>\n Heading into Friday, here is the most updated list of prospects the Niners have hosted on a 30-visit. Some of these have been verified by various reporters or the players themselves via their social media:<\/p>\n Washington WR Denzel Boston The first four are considered top-50 picks. Douglas and Young are projected to go in the seventh round. Stylistically, Boston and Brazzell are polar opposites of Concepcion and Cooper Jr. It makes you wonder if the Niners visited with one of these wideouts, whom they have zero interest in, to distract from their actual intentions.<\/p>\n Trigg was on our list of prospects<\/a> to target in the fourth round. The Athletic\u2019s Matt Barrows listed<\/a> him in a recent article. He\u2019s 240 pounds. You\u2019re not going to use that body type to block somebody at the first level. But the fifth-year senior is a mismatch in the passing game. And if you can ever get away with a tight end his size as a blocker, it\u2019s one with a wingspan in the 99th percentile.<\/p>\n Trigg is fun. It doesn\u2019t take long to realize his speed. Plus, he plays with aggression. Baylor would use Trigg as an insert blocker occasionally. On those plays, he\u2019s a pseudo fullback taking on a linebacker. You can teach him a better technique. You can\u2019t teach his physical gifts. He was also used as the lead blocker on screen passes. You don\u2019t do that if you think Trigg can\u2019t execute.<\/p>\n Utah OL Caleb Lomu Lomu and Proctor feel like contingency plans if the receivers and pass rushers the 49ers value aren\u2019t on the board. Each tackle is over 6\u20196\u201d, which is consistent with Mike McGlinchey (6\u20197 7\/8\u201d).<\/p>\n Michigan EDGE Jaishawn Barham Barham is another new name. He\u2019s also 240 pounds, one pound heavier than Height. Lawrence is listed at 253 pounds, but Barham plays the biggest. He\u2019s undersized from a height\/weight perspective, but played in a scheme that asked him to set the edge. Barham did not disappoint. There may be some untapped potential with the former Wolverine. He\u2019s projected to be drafted in the late third round.<\/p>\n Oklahoma LB Kendal Daniels<\/p>\n Texas Tech S Cole Wisniewski<\/p>\n These two defenders are UDFA and special teams candidates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A week from today, we\u2019ll be talking about which prospect the San Francisco 49ers selected on the first…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":590483,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,243816,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-590482","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-nfl","9":"tag-san-francisco-49ers-draft","10":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/590482","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=590482"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/590482\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/590483"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=590482"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=590482"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=590482"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
