The San Francisco 49ers earned strong marks for their 2026 NFL Draft class, receiving an A- from NFL.com draft analyst Chad Reuter in his "2026 NFL Draft: Final snap grades for every team" ratings. Reuter also gave San Francisco an A on Day 1, an A- on Day 2, and an A on Day 3 of the draft.
Although originally slated to have only six picks, the 49ers added eight players during the 2026 NFL Draft: WRDe'Zhaun Stribling(Ole Miss), DLRomello Height(Texas Tech), RBKaelon Black(Indiana), DLGracen Halton(Oklahoma), OLCarver Willis(Washington), CBEphesians Prysock(Washington), LBJaden Dugger(Louisiana), and OLEnrique Cruz Jr.(Kansas).
Take a look at Reuter's analysis of the 49ers 2026 draft selections:
"San Francisco wisely traded down twice in the first round to improve its stockpile of mid-round draft capital. Stribling should meet the Niners need at receiver because of his size/speed combination and ability to make big plays after the catch...
"They added veteran pass rushing tackleOsa Odighizuwavia trade with their original third-round pick, but they acquired two more third-round choices to select a lean but explosive pass rusher (Height) and a tough, quick, productive runner (Black) who can giveChristian McCaffreya break.
"Halton was a very good value as a pass-rushing tackle early in the fourth round, even after the trade for Odighizuwa. The Niners found offensive-line depth on Day 3, as well, in Willis, a versatile guard/tackle, and Cruz, an athletic pass protector. The tall, athletic and raw Prysock was a worthy fifth-round project."
