49ers begin hunt for cornerbacks

SANTA CLARA — Cornerback is one of the 49ers’ top positions of need this offseason, and a parade of prospects surely will be vetted. First among them is veteran Vontae Davis, a younger brother of former 49ers tight end Vernon Davis.

Davis, 29, is meeting with the 49ers on Tuesday after taking free-agent visits last week to the Buffalo Bills and Cleveland Browns, ESPN reported.
