Scangarello joined 49ers general manager John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan, as the club continues to evaluate its options for the No. 3 overall pick in the NFL Draft.
The 49ers traded up from No. 12 overall to No. 3 on March 26 in a deal with the Miami Dolphins. The 49ers gave up first-round picks in 2022 and ’23, as well as a third-rounder in 2022.
Scangarello also attended Fields’ first pro day on March 30 in Columbus, Ohio. Assistant general manager Adam Peters and director of college scouting Ethan Waugh represented the 49ers when Fields put on a show with his throwing ability and foot speed.
That same day, Lynch, Shanahan and area scout Steve Rubio watched Alabama quarterback Mac Jones during his pro day in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
