Share

The 49ers are working diligently to figure out which NFL prospects they will spend their draft capital on, particularly the valuable No. 7 overall pick.

They've reportedly met with Ohio State's Joey Bosa and Notre Dame's Ronnie Stanley, and have visits lined up with others.

One of the players San Francisco will meet with is Ole Miss wideout Laquon Treadwell, the receiver confirmed Wednesday to NFL Network.

The visit with the first-round prospect will happen after the Ole Miss Pro Day on March 28.

Along with the 49ers, Treadwell confirmed he'd meet with the Chargers, Dolphins, Browns, Cowboys, Panthers, Vikings, and Bengals.

Treadwell, a 6-foot-2, 221-pound consensus All-American and Biletnikoff finalist, is considered among the top receivers in the draft.
