49ers draft buzz: Daniel Jeremiah identifies pass rushers, WR targets for San Francisco
“If you’re looking for that big, physical rusher that kind of fits those specs, to me [Missouri DE] Zion Young, he’s 6-5 and a quarter, 262 pounds,” Jeremiah mentioned. “He would fit those specs. I know T.J. Parker’s not quite as big, but he’s almost 6-4, 263 pounds out of Clemson. Both those guys can kind of be heavy edge setters, but can really rush with a lot of power and strength off the edge. So, those would be two from the edge rusher group…In terms of the receivers, looking for somebody who can really, really run, there’s going to be a lot of options there,” Jeremiah mentioned.
“KC Concepcion from Texas A&M’s got elite, elite speed. He’s got a couple punt return touchdowns to throw in the mix. He runs away from everybody. He’s got some route polish to him as well. I think Denzel Boston’s probably gone by then, but he’s going to give you the combination of both, because he’s going to be 6-3, close to 210 pounds, and I bet he runs in the 4.4s, mid-4.4s at that size. He’s going to jump really well. He can win at the line of scrimmage against press. He’s a red zone weapon. He can play above the rim. He can adjust in the middle of the field. He’s a point scorer. So, he reminds me a lot of Courtland Sutton. I think he’d be a fun one to have if he were to make it that far. We’ll see.”
