49ers To Host WR Denzel Boston

Denzel Boston is visiting San Francisco today, ESPN’s Field Yates notes. This comes not long after he met with the Browns as part of what will prove to be a busy pre-draft process. An early draft investment at the WR spot would certainly add further to the changes in the 49ers’ case this offseason.

Brandon Aiyuk‘s future is unclear, but it is widely understood he will not play for the team again. Jauan Jennings remains unsigned, meanwhile, and he is expected to play elsewhere in 2026. Trent Taylor is also a free agent at this time, while Kendrick Bourne departed on the open market. Even with Evans and Kirk in the fold, a long-term commitment to a wideout via the draft could therefore be sensible.

San Francisco is slated to select 27th overall in next month’s event. Several of the top receiver prospects – such as Carnell Tate, Makai Lemon, Jordyn Tyson and Omar Cooper Jr. – will be off the board by that point, but Boston (ranked 20th on The Athletic’s consensus board) may still be available. The Washington product scored 20 touchdowns across the past two seasons, and expectations will be high for him in the red zone in particular upon entering the NFL.

The 49ers also have one second-round selection and four in the fourth round. The team will have options on Day 2 and 3 to bring in a wideout as a result. Nevertheless, it would come as little surprise if San Francisco continued to use a number of the team’s allotted top 30 visits on some of the most prominent WR prospects in the 2026 class.
