“I thought there was a chance Ricky Pearsall could be a top-40 selection, so the Florida receiver going to the 49ers at No. 31 isn’t the reach some want to make it. In fact, I had him ranked as my No. 31 overall prospect.”

“Twice in the past five years, the San Francisco 49ers have won the NFC. Twice in the past five years, the Niners have also lost close Super Bowls to the Kansas City Chiefs. This is a pivotal year for San Francisco…The team selected Florida’s Ricky Pearsall, who models his NFL game after Brandon Aiyuk.
“San Francisco faces some tough decisions over the next year to keep its Super Bowl window as open as it is currently. But for now, the 49ers have to be considered the favorites in the NFC again. The offense has as much skill-position talent as any team in the league. Purdy has shown that he can operate Kyle Shanahan’s offense at a high level. The 49ers defense is as stout as any in the league. This is a balanced, well-coached, battle-tested team.”
