Mock Drafts Link 49ers to Texas A&M WR KC Concepcion Late in First Round

Analysts say his after-catch burst and return skills match Kyle Shanahan’s system.

Overview

  • Multiple prominent mock drafts, published Tuesday, now project San Francisco to target Texas A&M receiver KC Concepcion near picks No. 27 to 29.
  • In FOX Sports analyst Rob Rang’s scenario reported by Yahoo, the 49ers trade down to No. 29 and still take Concepcion while adding the Chiefs’ fifth-round pick at No. 148.
  • Bleacher Report’s Dame Parson describes Concepcion as a three-level playmaker and an easy separator in space, which he argues fits Shanahan’s West Coast approach for QB Brock Purdy.
  • Concepcion logged 2,218 receiving yards and 25 touchdowns over three college seasons, earned 2025 consensus All-American and Paul Hornung honors, and returned 25 punts for 456 yards and two scores last year.
  • Even after signing veterans Mike Evans and Christian Kirk, the 49ers face choices that include offensive line help, and their six picks in the first four rounds give them room to trade or prioritize different needs.
