The San Francisco 49ers coaching has made the long trip to Stanford Stadium, trekking 14 miles up the road from Santa Clara. According to the various 49ers beat writers, much of the coaching staff appears to be on hand for the event.
Large #49ers contingency at Stanford pro day, including Chip Kelly and OC Curtis Modkins.

Former NFL QB Kevin O'Connell is at Stanford pro day representing #49ers. He's an offensive assistant. Team has yet to announce his title.

Chip Kelly was a Pac-12 fan during his time influencing drafts for the Philadelphia Eagles. Trent Baalke is running things for the 49ers, although I suspect Kelly will have some measure of influence, particularly with the quarterback position.
I imagine Kelly will be paying attention to quarterback Kevin Hogan. The top prospect on the Cardinal roster is guard Joshua Garnett. The 49ers reportedly signed guard Zane Beadles on Thursday, but I would not be surprised if Garnett was on the team's radar to some extent. Tight end Austin Hooper and offensive tackle Kyle Murphy are both projected by CBS Sports as potential day two picks. Other prospects include ILB Nlake Martinez, DE Aziz Shittu, and WR Devon Cajuste.
