49ers hosting top WR prospect for top-30 visit ahead of 2026 NFL draft

The 49ers already added two veterans to their wide receiver room in free agency. Now, they're looking at a top wideout in the 2026 NFL draft.

The San Francisco 49ers improved their wide receiver this offseason, adding Mike Evans and Christian Kirk over the first two weeks of the new league year to help make up for the loss of Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne. While those are two strong weapons for Brock Purdy to target this season, the 49ers are considering adding a rookie with their top pick in the 2026 NFL draft. According to ESPN's Field Yates , the 49ers are hosting wide receiver prospect Denzel Boston on Tuesday for a pre-draft top-30 visit.

Boston 22, played high school ball at Emerald Ridge High School in Puyallup, Washington, and was a three-star recruit when he committed to the University of Washington for the 2022 season. Ove the last four years, the 6-foot-4, 212-pound Husky appeared in 43 games and caught 132 passes for 20 yards. He also ran for a touchdown in his freshman year.

Boston is likely going to be a first-round pick next month, and with the 49ers only holding one selection on Day 1, that would be a major commitment to a receiver room that needed to be revamped. A top four of Evans, Boston, Kirk and Ricky Pearsall would be devastating, especially if Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle are full-go as well.
