49ers Draft Notes: HEAVILY Connected to Wide Receivers, New 30 Visits

In this episode of Locked On 49ers, hosts Brian Peacock and Eric Crocker break down the latest developments in the 2026 NFL Draft, focusing on the San Francisco 49ers' heavy interest in wide receivers and edge rushers. With reports confirming 30 pre-draft visits, the team has brought in several wide receivers—including Omar Cooper, Denzel Boston, Casey Concepcion, Jordan Hudson, Romelo Height, Ed Rusher, and Malachi Lawrence—as well as a notable non-receiver, cornerback Malik Muhammad from Texas. The discussion highlights the 49ers’ potential strategy: a first-round wide receiver, followed by edge rushers in the second round and depth picks on day three, including a tight end and offensive lineman. Crocker provides an in-depth analysis of Malik Muhammad, praising his zone coverage instincts, footwork, and versatility, comparing him favorably to former 49ers corner Terrell Brown and projecting him as a late second- or early third-round pick. Jordan Hudson, a 6'1", 190-pound SMU receiver with strong ball skills and red-zone production, is seen as a potential late-round or undrafted free agent target. The hosts emphasize that while 30 visits don’t guarantee drafting, they signal strong interest and strategic intent, especially in addressing offensive depth and scheme fit under Kyle Shanahan’s system.
