#27 Candidates


 Let's go through the prime candidates the 49ers could potentially have interest in and available to them with the 27th pick. We'll keep this to two tiers. Tier 1 realistic expectations and Tier 2 surprise sliders:

Tier 1

Omar Cooper Jr. - Shanahan type of WR whose stock is sky high right now

Denzel Boston - X WR similar to Drake London who can go up and get it and is a redzone monster

KC Concepcion - Speedy WR Shanahan would likely have interest in.

Caleb Lomu, OT, Utah - Foerster might see a future LT in 2-3 years. Meanwhile he'd compete at LG.

Lee Hunter, DL, Texas Tech - Pass rush ceiling questions but the rest is all there.


Tier 2

Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona St. - Consensus #1 WR in the draft whose medicals hold his stock in the balance.

Peter Woods, DT, Clemson - Lack of length and inconsistencies could cause a slide.

Cassius Howell, Edge, Texas A&M - Short arms might give some teams pause. 

Dillon Thieneman, S, Oregon - The only reason he might slide would be position value and two already taken in front of him.
