The 49ers could have a new draft target on their radar after Louisville defensive end Ashton Gillotte turned heads at his pro day.
Gillotte, who had 11 sacks in 2023 but a quieter 2024 season, ran a blazing 4.63-second 40-yard dash in front of scouts from all 32 NFL teams. That speed could push him up draft boards, making him a solid option for San Francisco, which holds two third-round picks.
With the team needing an edge rusher opposite Nick Bosa after parting ways with Leonard Floyd, Gillotte’s name is one to watch as the draft approaches.
