The 49ers have done a nice job under head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch of taking players in the draft (or in undrafted free agency) and putting them in positions to succeed, even if it means having them change positions. One intriguing prospect in this year’s draft who may benefit from landing with a team not afraid to move players to new positions is Coastal Carolina CB Lance Boykin. Boykin had a formal meeting with the 49ers at the combine per the Draft Network’s Justin Melo.
Boykin has terrific size for a defensive back at just over 6-2, 200 pounds. He also played in 46 college games between his tenures at Old Dominion and Coastal Carolina.
