The 49ers are looking to bolster their defensive backfield. The team has been linked to some of the best available free agent cornerbacks and is expected to target a veteran in the coming days. One obstacle is that the Niners currently sit at $9.6 million over the salary cap.
Many also expect San Francisco to target a cornerback in the draft, regardless of what happens in free agency.
Lucas registered 34 tackles, one tackle for a loss, and six passes defensed through 10 game appearances as a senior in 2021, per Sports Reference. He recorded 223 tackles, 12 tackles for a loss, two sacks, 28 passes defensed, six interceptions, and two forced fumbles through his five collegiate seasons.
At the NFL Scouting Combine, the 5' 11 1/4" and 180-pound Lucas had a 40-time of 4.48 seconds, a vertical jump of 39 inches, and a broad jump of 128 inches. Lucas' other measurables include an arm length of 31 7/8 inches and hands measuring 9 1/4 inches.
