Prospects visiting the 49ers

Matt Barrows of the Sac Bee has some names that might catch the interest of the 49ers. These draft prospects either have or will be visiting the 49ers. Here's a list of the players the 49ers have been looking at:

  • BJ Raji (DT Boston College) - According to Barrows, Raji is a player that might be a great fit for the team. With the departure of Ronald Fields and the OK play of Aubrayo Franklin, it would help the team to have a solid player like Raji. His size and mobility are definitely a plus.

  • Andre Brown (RB North Carolina State)- The 49ers are looking for a backup to Frank Gore that's about 215-230 pounds. Brown sits at 224 pound and had a fantastic Senior Bowl. He could be the team's second round pick.

  • Gregory Toler (CB St. Paul's College)- With the departure of Donald Strickland, the team could be looking into upgrading this speedster (4.35 40-yard dash).

Also, the 49ers have two more possible late rounders on their list:

Trent Baalke also has been seen at a few pro day workouts. Baalke is the team's director of player personnel, meaning he's the No. 2 man to GM Scot McCloughan. Baalke recently has attended the workouts of Northern Illinois' Larry English, a projected 3-4 OLB who could be available in the second round, and Washington State receiver Brandon Gibson, a Day 2 selection. Look for the 49ers to take a receiver late in the draft and hope to strike gold like they did last year in the sixth round with Josh Morgan.

    I think BJ Raji would be a good pick in the first, if he's still on the board...most mocks have him long gone by then...

    also i heard one analyst say the niners arent likely to take him even if he is on the board because they already drafted a defensive lineman in the first round last year.
