49ers Eye KC Concepcion at No. 27 as Top-30 Visit Looms

League chatter points to wide receiver as San Francisco’s Round 1 focus over offensive tackle.

Overview

  • ESPN’s Matt Miller identified Texas A&M’s KC Concepcion as a name to watch for the 49ers with the 27th pick.
  • The Athletic’s Matt Barrows reported San Francisco is expected to bring Concepcion and Indiana’s Omar Cooper Jr. in for in-house visits next week.
  • Sportsnaut, citing Miller, reported the team does not view offensive tackle as a Round 1 priority this year.
  • San Francisco signed Mike Evans and Christian Kirk in free agency, and analysts project Concepcion would start 2026 as the WR3 behind Evans and Ricky Pearsall.
  • Concepcion produced 185 catches for 2,218 yards and 25 touchdowns in college and added 456 punt return yards in 2025, with some projections noting he could require a trade-up if he rises before pick 27.
