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.
