Prospect visit update: The 49ers plan to meet with 5 players; including a tight end from Iowa

We’re a little more than a week away from the NFL Draft, but that doesn’t mean the San Francisco 49ers are done with their 30 prospect visits.

One name that continues to pop up is Kentucky’s Andru Phillips, who will be in the Bay Area this week, per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo. Phillips is viewed as a second-rounder. Mel Kiper Jr. believes he’s a nickel in the NFL and has mocked Phillips to the 49ers multiple times, including his most recent mock draft from Monday:

Kiper’s pick: Dru Phillips, CB, Kentucky

This is about beefing up a secondary that struggled at times at the end of last season.
