The majority of the 49ers top-30 visits have been at one position
“Cooper Jr., Boston, and Concepcion are all projected to go in the first round. For my money, Boston is in a separate tier from the others. I’d rank them Boston, Concepcion, and Cooper Jr., each in their own tier.
I’d trust Boston to win at every level and do so in ways where he wouldn’t need to be schemed open. He’s not as fast as the other two, but speed is not one of the traits that come to mind early when thinking about where a wide
receiver needs to win.
Concepcion is fast enough to rethink that last sentence. He’s a blur. He’s also a better route runner than you’d initially think. Still, problems at the collegiate level with drops can’t help me think physicality will make it difficult for Concepion to reach his ceiling.
If I hear Cooper Jr. is like Deebo Samuel one more time… Deebo’s vertical was two inches better at 15 pounds heavier. Deebo also ran a short shuttle and excelled (70th percentile). Cooper Jr. elected not to run. When a prospect skips an event, it’s a tell that he isn’t timing well. You can see when Cooper Jr. has the ball, like on a reverse, for example, his change of direction isn’t in the same stratosphere as Deebo’s. I’d like Cooper Jr. more if he were being talked about at the end of the second round, not the first.”
49ers met with Wisconsin DL Darryl Peterson at pro day
“Throughout my early years at Wisconsin, I played as a stand-up defender,” he said. “I can play as a stand-up defender and drop in coverage. I can also put my hand in the dirt like I did this past year.
“I think having that versatility has been a huge help throughout this pre-draft process. I’ve heard a lot about playing both of those roles. Some teams want me to stand up. Others want me with my hand in the dirt.”

“According to Pro Football Focus, Lomu allowed just eight pressures and zero sacks across 383 pass-blocking snaps in 2025. His 82.1 pass-blocking grade marked a career high, though his run-blocking grade dipped to 62.0 from 70.1 the previous season.
