The San Francisco 49ers are scheduled to host a pre-draft visit with New Mexico State linebacker Terrill Hanks, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. He also has visits planned with the Houston Texans and Miami Dolphins.

NFL teams are permitted to host up to 30 players for official pre-draft visits at their facilities. Unlike local prospects, those players are not allowed to work out for the team during the visit.
Hanks registered 101 combined tackles, nine for a loss, a sack, and an interception for the Aggies in 2018, which followed a seven-sack performance in 2017.
Hanks participated in the Senior Bowl, where he was part of the Kyle Shanahan and 49ers-coached South Squad.
At the NFL Scouting Combine, the 6-foot-2 and 242-pound Hanks had a 40-time of 4.98 seconds, a vertical jump of 35.5 inches, a broad jump of 118 inches, and 21 reps in the bench press. Other measurables for Hanks include an arm length of 33 1/2 inches and hands that measure 9 3/4 inches.
Lance Zierlein of NFL.com wrote the following about Hanks within his scouting report:
"Linebacker prospect with productive four-year resume to catch the attention of the scouting community. Hanks is active and plays downhill, but he can be overactive and inefficient in his flow to the ball, leading to missed run fits and tackles. He is an average athlete in space so he will need to improve his play strength and recognition quickness in order to be more than a backup and special teams contributor."
Joe Marino of The Draft Network wrote the following about Hanks within his scouting report:
"Hanks' ability in coverage, range and urgency makes him an ideal candidate to function as a weakside linebacker in a 4-3 defense. His shortcomings taking on blocks, playing into the line of scrimmage and processing does limit his versatility but he is still new to playing linebacker after transitioning from safety to linebacker as a senior. Hanks should be a core special teams player while providing value in sub-packages initially in his career but development is needed for him to be a starter. His size and athletic ability does suggest there is upside present but getting stronger, improving his technique and developing the mental side is critical."

49ers and WR Brandon Aiyuk reportedly not close on a new contract

The San Francisco 49ers need wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. And Aiyuk needs the 49ers. But the two sides are reportedly not close on a new deal that would keep the star receiver in San Francisco for years to come.
Sunday morning, on SportsCenter, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported that the 49ers and Aiyuk are not close in contract negotiations, leading many to wonder if Aiyuk will hold out (not show up) or hold in (show up but not participate) for the remainder of the offseason and even training camp.
"This one's tricky because he was implicated in some trade talks around the draft," Fowler said. "He wants a new contract; has one year left. I'm told the 49ers certainly are open to doing a deal, but talks have not progressed enough where things are close. And

The San Francisco 49ers have reportedly signed former USC offensive lineman Jarrett Kingston to his rookie four-year deal. The team made him a sixth-round draft pick, selecting him 215th overall in the 2024 NFL Draft. This leaves wide receiver Ricky Pearsall, the team's first-round selection, as the only unsigned 49ers draft pick.
According to OverTheCap.com, Kingston's four-year contract is worth about $4.16 million. This includes a signing bonus of approximately $138,000 and a 2024 salary-cap hit of about $830,000.
When asked about his pre-draft evaluations, Kingston said, "I feel like I am athletic. I think whatever like the ratings were, but I feel like I'm really athletic. I think my background playing all these different positions, like defensive and tight
AFC GM hoped to draft 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall: "It was a great pick"

The San Francisco 49ers' selection of wide receiver Ricky Pearsall with the No. 31 overall pick in the draft surprised many, with several analysts labeling it as a reach. However, one AFC general manager described the pick as "great."
Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta had hoped to select Pearsall and was disappointed to see the former Florida wide receiver chosen at the end of the first round. While he admits to being surprised by Pearsall's early selection, he thought the Ravens might have a chance at him later.
"It was a great pick. I give those guys a lot of credit," DeCosta said of the 49ers' selection,
