ESPN's Kiper and McShay: 49ers Will Select First-round WR

The NFL Network draft analyst has shared his top 50 draft prospects prior to the 2015 Scouting Combine.

In his latest mock draft, ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. has chosen Central Florida junior wide receiver Breshad Perriman as the San Francisco 49ers 15th overall pick. He remains consistent in thinking that the 49ers will select a pass-catcher in the first-round. Kiper chose West Virginia wideout Kevin White for the 49ers in his first mock draft

ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay has also chosen wide receivers for the 49ers in his two mocks. He started with Michigan's Devin Funchess and now has Ohio State's Devin Smith going to the red and gold. 

The trend extends beyond ESPN. A wide receiver seems to be the popular choice for the 49ers first pick in mocks around the web

The 49ers currently have nine wide receivers on their roster, with former first-round pick Michael Crabtree set to be a free agent this offseason.

The Faithful will be paying close attention to the wide receiver group at next week's Scouting Combine. According to NFL Media draft analyst Mike Mayock, these are the top five prospects at the position.
