The San Francisco 49ers are gearing up for the NFL draft with the 27th overall pick after

a tough divisional round-loss last season.

They've made big moves in free agency to stay in contention, and now NFL next-gen stats

data points to them targeting offensive talent to round out.

The roster.

Top predictions show a 20% chance they select Utah offensive tackle, Caleb Lomu, a massive

6-foot-six athlete with explosive skills.

Perfect for their blocking scheme.

Coming in at 13% is Texas A&M wide receiver KC Concepts Yone.

Who could add speed and returnability behind their new veteran?

Additions.

Fans and analysts see this as a smart play to build depth of front and at receiver, even

with recent signings like Mike Evans and Christian Kirk.

The team wants long-term stability on the edges, especially as Trent Williams nears

the end of his career.

Other strong options include Alabama's Caden Proctor at 10%, Georgia's Monroe Freeling

at 7%, and a few more tackles and receivers.

Rounding out the list.

It's all about bolstering the line, and weapons around quarterback Brock Purdy.

This offensive focus keeps their Super Bowl hopes alive, setting the stage for what could

be another run deep into the playoffs.
