5 players who impressed the 49ers at the NFL Scouting Combine

Now that the 2018 NFL Scouting Combine has come and gone, Niner Noise looks at five prospects that shined at the event and may have drawn interest from the 49ers.

I am not the biggest fan of how scouts rely on the NFL Scouting Combine to measure draft prospects on how good of a football player they are.

However, I do admire how the combine is a place where these prospects can show off their athleticism and interview with teams for the general managers to get a good feel for how well these players will fit on their squads.

And of course I can’t forget how it was a place where the 49ers won a coin toss over the Raiders to win the No. 9 overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft.

Many prospects impressed at the combine, and as a result, their draft stock will immediately shoot up. On the other hand, the players who did not put on a good show at the event will see their stock plummet.

Obviously we want to focus on the prospects who had a good combine, so here are five of them who interviewed with and should have drawn interest from the 49ers at the NFL Scouting Combine.
