Concepcion starred for the Aggies in 2025, leading the team with 919 receiving yards and nine touchdowns. His production positions him squarely in the 25–35 range in this year’s wide receiver rankings, making No. 27 a plausible landing spot for the 49ers.
Yates notes the 49ers are in the market for both a playmaking pass catcher and an edge rusher this offseason, but he emphasizes that the WR position could become more urgent if Aiyuk leaves and Jennings signs elsewhere. With Nick Bosa and a returning Mykel Williams expected to bolster the pass rush, Concepcion would help San Francisco’s offense diversify its attack.
Concepcion is described as an explosive playmaker capable of creating after the catch and thriving in space, with a reported 25 receiving touchdowns across three college seasons and notable return ability on special teams. He’s also known for his speed and versatility, which could give Kyle Shanahan multiple ways to deploy him.
Bleacher Report’s scouting notes highlight Concepcion’s dynamic elusiveness and toughness, but acknowledge a tendency toward focus drops—moments when he loses the ball eye discipline. If San Francisco can address those consistency concerns, he could translate into a high-end target in Shanahan’s system and potentially become a long-term building block.
Overall, Yates’ mock draft envisions a fit-for-the-future pick for the 49ers at No. 27, aimed at replenishing a depleted receiver corps while still aligning with Shanahan’s offensive versatility. If Aiyuk and Jennings move on, Concepcion’s profile as an explosive SEC playmaker could help San Francisco quickly retool its wide receiver room.
