The San Francisco 49ers are doing extensive homework on UCLA quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson ahead of this month's draft. First, the team
UCLA's Dorian Thompson-Robinson, one of the more intriguing QBs in the draft, has visited the #Browns, #49ers, #Raiders, #Chargers, #Eagles and #Bengals, per source. Some teams intrigued by his mobility/arm strength.
The 49ers could add a rookie to their quarterback room, as they have done in each of the last two drafts.

The 23-year-old quarterback has completed 63.3 percent of his passes for 10,710 yards, 88 touchdowns, and 36 interceptions in his five seasons at UCLA, adding 1,826 total rushing yards and 28 rushing touchdowns.
