NFL Draft Projection

In a draft with a number of talented wide receivers, Travin Dural will be a third- or a fourth-round prospect, who can step in from day one to be an impact addition. Because he spent five years in college, he should be closed to a finished product within a year or two of being drafted.

Dural would be a nice find for the 49ers in the middle rounds of the draft.

Assuming Kyle Shanahan is named the next head coach, he will be looking for playmakers to improve the offense. Dural fits the bill.

The 49ers have given former draft picks Quinton Patton and Bruce Ellington more than enough chances, and it’s time to move on from them both. In addition, Chris Harper and Rod Streater are nothing more than stopgaps that can easily be replaced.

The 49ers need to work the draft board in April and come away with a wide receiver or two who will improve the offense going forward.
