Round 5, Pick No. 146

Carlos Henderson. 146. player. 42. . Wide Receiver. Lousiana Tech

The 49ers have needs all over the field and the wide receiver position is certainly one of them. Waiting till the fifth round, they can still add a high-flying prospect in Carlos Henderson.

Although he went to a smaller school in Louisiana Tech, Henderson was a home-run hitter every time he touched the ball.

The LA Tech WR was known for breaking tackles, actually led the FBS, and also making big plays out of little screen passes.

The 49ers did meet with Henderson earlier during the draft process, so there could definitely be some interest to take him here.

Round 5, Pick No. 171

Tight End. Virginia Tech. Bucky Hodges. 171. player. 42.
