You can tell that San Francisco 49ers VP of player personnel, Adam Peters, is very proud of the selection of wide receiver Jauan Jennings. The team managed to snatch him up in the seventh round of April's draft, and he could come in and make an immediate impact this season.
Peters is probably also glad that more scouts didn't peruse YouTube for more highlights of Jennings. Or maybe they did, but Adams and his staff were obviously more impressed than most. He recommends one video in particular.
"He's a really interesting guy, Jauan Jennings," Adams told Keiana Martin during the 49ers Live Look-In on Sunday. "I joke around; I'm smiling because we had this video that we passed around, all the coaches. We even sent it to Jed (York). It's called 'The Dawg.' You guys should check it out on YouTube.
"But it's Jauan Jennings, nicknamed 'The Dawg,' and it might have been the best highlight video I've ever seen on YouTube. He's a seventh-rounder, and he's definitely more talented than a seventh-rounder.
"But the thing about Jauan that you see, not only is he really talented, but he loves football. He loves playing. And that comes out on the film, and that comes out when you talk football with him, so we're really excited that we got him too."
You can watch the YouTube highlight video below.
Jennings caught 146 passes for 2,153 yards with 18 touchdowns in five seasons with the Volunteers, including a 59-catch, 969-yard, eight-touchdowns senior year in 2019. He also had 13 rushing attempts for 51 yards and a rushing touchdown last year.

The San Francisco 49ers have been striving to solidify their defensive backfield for years. They would love to find someone to fortify the outside cornerback spot opposite Charvarius Ward, allowing Deommodore Lenoir to play in the slot. While the team holds high hopes for newly signed cornerback Isaac Yiadom, believing he is the frontrunner for the job, the ultimate solution might come in the draft later this month.

Analyst Steve Palazzolo unveiled a first-round mock draft for Pro Football Focus, attempting to forecast the selections for each NFL team within the top 32 picks. While the San Francisco 49ers concentrated on strengthening the defensive line in free agency, Palazzolo envisions the team continuing to fortify that side of the ball.
In his mock draft, Palazzolo predicts that the 49ers will select former Iowa State cornerback T.J. Tampa with the No. 31 overall pick.

Schrager mock draft has 49ers adding 'universally liked and respected' receiver

Apr 16
With only nine days remaining until the start of the 2024 NFL Draft, Good Morning Football's Peter Schrager revealed his first mock draft of the year. While most might expect the San Francisco 49ers to target an offensive lineman, Schrager has the team bolstering its wide receiver corps with an SEC talent.
Schrager has the 49ers using the No. 31 overall pick to select former Georgia wide receiver Ladd McConkey, whose 2023 campaign with the Bulldogs was limited by back and ankle injuries.
"McConkey in the first round? Yes," Schrager wrote. "Above guys like Troy Franklin and Keon Coleman? Perhaps. I've spoken to a
