The San Francisco 49ers have gone off the cuff more than most teams when it comes to the first round of the NFL Draft. Thursday night was no different, as the Niners selected Florida wide receiver Ricky Pearsall.
General manager John Lynch's opening statement on Pearsall: “He does a lot of things well. Does a lot of the things we covet at that position well. We believe we have a real strong group there, and we wanted to add another player. Ricky is a very versatile player. And he also has some punt return value we think will come in handy.
