Let me preface this by saying wide receiver Kendrick Bourne probably isn't privy to any insider information on who San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan plan to select with the No. 13 overall pick tonight. Of course, that assumes the team stays at that spot. Bourne does have an opinion, though, and shared it via Twitter.
The 49ers' fourth-year receiver would like to add some competition to his position room this offseason. Bourne thinks that Lynch and Shanahan might make Henry Ruggs III of Alabama his newest teammate. He shared his view while responding to Shanahan's tweet from last night, which provided fans with a tour of his home office setup for the draft.
The vast majority of mock drafts predict that San Francisco will select a receiver with the No. 13 overall pick, with Ruggs as the leading candidate within those mocks. If the team doesn't pick a receiver there, it may do so with its second first-round pick at No. 31. The 49ers could also trade down from either (or both) first-round spots to acquire more draft equity. San Francisco lacks a selection between rounds one and five, which would make for a rather dull day two of the draft for fans.

Let's start with a mea culpa. I got it wrong: It was, in fact, The Last Dance for that 49ers team.
You can blame many things for that completely errant prediction, but if pushed, I'd put it down to sheer belief and optimism that such a good 49ers team, that gave us all such...
