The 49ers haven’t kept it secret that they’re still looking to improve their receiving corps. A weak free agency class didn’t allow them to bolster their receiver depth chart. They did add struggling veteran Jordan Matthews on a one-year deal, but head coach Kyle Shanahan has said the club will continue to search for a receiver.

Given the late stages of free agency and the draft approaching at the end of April, it appears the 49ers will use the latter to acquire a new wideout.

When exactly the 49ers select a receiver remains to be determined. They may be eyeing a receiver early, but it wouldn’t be atypical of Shanahan to find a player late in the draft he believes fits what they need at that position.

In order to get a look at what receivers San Francisco could look at in each round of this year’s draft, we used the Draft Network’s Mock Draft Machine to run through a seven-round mock where the 49ers only selected wide receivers. It’s a bit skewed because the 49ers don’t have a pick in Round 5 or 7, but they have a pair in Round 6.

Here’s what we came up with:

Round 1, N’Keal Harry, Arizona State

The 49ers wouldn’t use the No. 2 overall pick on a receiver, so the more likely scenario is selecting one in a trade down, or trading up to the back of the first round. Harry has a good combination of size and diverse route running ability that make him a No. 1 receiver candidate. He’s nasty after the catch and good making plays in traffic. Harry’s ability to threaten teams in the short and intermediate passing games while also presenting a good red zone target makes him a viable Round 1 option for the 49ers if they decide to take a big swing at the position.
