San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch was at the Washington Huskies' campus in Seattle on Saturday, but he and offensive line coach Chris Foerster reportedly were looking at prospects beyond offensive tackle Roger Rosengarten. 

Per Ben Glassmire of The Huskies Wire, Lynch and Foerster stayed behind after the Huskies' spring practice on Saturday, just as Rosengarten — mocked to the 49ers in the first round by Mel Kiper Jr. — began a workout.

That would indicate the Niners hosting a private workout with Rosengarten.

However, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic, the 49ers were watching several Huskies prospects on Saturday.

Washington has a host of prospects likely to be of interest to the 49ers. Wide receiver Rome Odunze will be well out of their reach and it would likely require a trade up for the 49ers to land another offensive tackle, Troy Fautanu.

Edge rusher Bralen Trice led the FBS in pressures last season with 80, per Pro Football Focus, making him an obvious potential target for a 49er team that has continually spent premium picks on the defensive line.

Beyond Odunze, the Huskies also have two draft prospects at wide receiver who figure to be available on day two in Ja'Lynn Polk and Jalen McMillan.

Polk brings an intriguing blend of route-running detail and ball-winning ability at the catch point, while McMillan would figure to feast on the option routes that are a Kyle Shanahan staple with his fluid change of direction ability.

The signs would appear to point to Rosengarten being a top target but, given the depth of talent on a team that went to the National Championship last season, it would be no surprise if the 49ers are targeting multiple Huskies.
