The 49ers should keep tabs on cornerback Shakur Brown in the NFL Draft as a potential long-term replacement for K’Waun Williams.
The San Francisco 49ers would be wise to invest at least one of their nine picks in the 2021 NFL Draft.
And it wouldn’t be a bad idea to invest in at least two, considering veteran corners Jason Verrett and K’Waun Williams returned in free agency on one-year deals and have a notable history of injuries.
Armed with five picks on day three of the draft, one player the Niners should have eyes on is Michigan State cornerback Shakur Brown, who could be quite the sleeper add with some awfully solid potential to be another one of those hidden-gem finds.
