SANTA CLARA, Calif. — San Francisco took Florida wide receiver Ricky Pearsall with the 30th pick in the NFL draft to give the 49ers possible insurance if they can't sign Brandon Aiyuk to a long-term deal. Pearsall had 65 catches for 965 yards and four TDs last season at Florida and gives the Niners a possible option as a slot receiver. Pearsall was known for some highlight-reel catches during his time in college and now is the latest potential playmaker added to a dynamic offense that made it to the Super Bowl last season.
