Need speed? WR Brandin Cooks blazes in Indy
Wide receiver Brandin Cooks, who grew up a 49ers fan in Stockton, said he'd "love to blow the top off" of defenses for his favorite team. But after his scorching 40-yard dash time Sunday in Indianapolis, you have to wonder whether Cooks will be around when the 49ers pick at No. 30.
The 5-9 3/4, 189-pound Cooks led all receivers with a 4.33-second 40, bolstering his standing as one of the top catch-and-go receivers in the draft as well as someone who can put pressure on the back end of NFL secondaries, something the 49ers failed to do at wide receiver last year. The Oregon State receiver led the nation in receiving yards last year and won the Biletnikoff Award as the nation's top wideout.
"Cooks had a big day," NFL Network's Mike Mayock said. "People are going to be buzzing about him. He's something."
Other standouts today included the top-rated pass catcher in the draft, Sammy Watkins, who ran a 4.43-second 40. His tall, lanky Clemson teammate, Martavis Bryant, ran a 4.42. LSU's Odell Beckham, a possibility to the 49ers at the end of the first round, ran a 4.43.
Ole Miss's Donte Moncrief also stood out. The powerfully built Moncrief -- he measured 6-2, 221 pounds on Friday -- ran his 40-yard dash in 4.0 seconds.
Cooks met with the 49ers Friday night. Here's the profile I wrote on the small-but-tough receiver in Thursday's Bee.

Anquan Boldin, Niners close to deal
Updated: February 23, 2014, 11:05 AM ET
The 49ers and Anquan Boldin are closing in on a deal that will keep the veteran wide receiver in San Francisco, sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Anquan Boldin was outstanding in his first season with the Niners, finishing with 85 catches for 1,178 yards and seven touchdowns.
The 49ers acquired Boldin from the Baltimore Ravens last March for a sixth-round pick.
Boldin had a huge season for the 49ers, a season after beating them in the Super Bowl. The 33-year-old had 85 catches for 1,178 yards and seven touchdowns.
Boldin saved the 49ers' offense for the first 11 games when Michael Crabtree was out with a torn Achilles.
He was a leader of the team and respected by coaches and players. Both San Francisco general manager Trent Baalke and coach Jim Harbaugh said keeping Boldin was important. Boldin indicated after the season he wanted to remain with the 49ers.
ESPN.com 49ers reporter Bill Williamson contributed to this report.
Is it just me or does ESPN just regurgitate news? Rarely do I see them break anything.
[h1]Browns owner confirms Harbaugh talks with 49ers[/h1]
INDIANAPOLIS -- Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam confirmed talks occurred with the San Francisco 49ers about possibly obtaining head coach Jim Harbaugh.
Although Harbaugh and 49ers owner John York denied that a deal was in the works to exchange the coach for draft pick, Haslam confirmed the talks.
"There was an opportunity there, and it didn't materialize," Haslam told USA TODAY Sports.
ProFootballTalk.com reported Friday that during an elongated search that included potential coaches rejecting the Browns, the team made a run at Harbaugh.
PFT reported that Harbaugh nixed the deal. Haslam wouldn't elaborate on why the deal fell through.
The revelation, though, underscores what has been apparent for weeks: new Cleveland Browns coach Mike Pettine was a consolation choice.
Pettine was prepared for questions about the report when he met with reporters Saturday at the combine.
"I got a phone call saying that that report was about to come out, and I shot the messenger a little bit. Because I asked, 'How does that affect my tenure as the head coach?' I think in my next sentence, I either used the word 'flying' followed by something or referenced a part of a rat's body," Pettine said. "I think that's noise. It has no bearing on my job moving forward."
