In the 2024 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers selected Florida wide receiver Ricky Pearsall with the 31st pick. This decision adds another weapon to Kyle Shanahan's arsenal and raises questions about the future role of Brandon Aiyuk in the team. Initially, there was confusion as multiple sources reported the selection of Iowa defensive back Cooper DeJean at the same pick, highlighting DeJean as Phil Parker's first-ever first-round DB and the Hawkeyes' seventh first-round pick in the last six drafts. However, it was later clarified that the 49ers had indeed drafted Pearsall.
The #49ers at No. 31 select #Florida WR Ricky Pearsall. Does this signal what the future holds for Brandon Aiyuk? Or do they still see him in their future?

49ers-DeJean is an excellent pick. Need outside corner help when Deommodore Lenoir moves into the slot, and can find some safety reps for him in base. https://t.co/xX6Ay7jinl
