Who Have the 49ers Met With Ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft?
Scouring the draft for offensive line succession and explosive playmakers, Lynch and Shanahan hone their board for key selections, signaling a future star receiver.
As the 2026 NFL Draft approaches, John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan are deep in the evaluation phase, utilizing their 30 allotted in person visits and various workouts to fine tune a board that currently starts at No. 27 overall. While the 49ers were aggressive in free agency their draft activity suggests they are still hunting for long term pillars, particularly at wide receiver, offensive tackle, and along the defensive front.
Here is the latest breakdown of who the 49ers have been meeting with as of April 8, 2026. Top-30 In-Person Visits These are the most significant meetings, as teams are limited to just 30 per year. The 49ers' heavy focus on pass catchers here is a clear signal that they are looking for a young "X" receiver to eventually lead the room.
WR Denzel Boston, Washington: A physical 6'4" target who many see as a natural successor to Brandon Aiyuk's role. WR KC Concepcion, Texas A&M: A dynamic "Paul Hornung Award" winner known for elite versatility and YAC (yards after catch) production. WR Omar Cooper Jr.
, Indiana: A "slot bully" who excels at creating separation and brings a physical presence to the middle of the field. DE Romello Height, Texas Tech: A standout from the Senior Bowl who recorded 70 pressures this past season; a prime candidate to boost a pass rush that lacked depth in 2025. Workouts & Private Evaluations When the 49ers send coaches for private workouts, they are usually looking for specific physical traits or scheme fits.
