WRs: 2026 Draft Class

Malachi Fields running two 4.6 40's was pretty disappointing. Same with Carnell Tate running a 4.54. But I still would draft Tate in the top 10.

And even though my guy Dillon Thienenman won't be there at #27 or be drafted by the 9ers. I wouldn't mind Gerrmie Bernard at #27. I can't see him lasting till the 58th pick.

Would be hilarious if they drafted him, just to make things really awkward.

Shouldn't we consider him at 127, 133, or 138 with that 4.34 40 time + his height?

Not sure if that 4.34 bumped him up from late 4th to late 3rd ...

Would not be mad if we drafted him ... the atonement to make up for Trey with the Lance that can really play

Ithink he will be a 2nd round pick.

That high eh.. ok doubt we'd draft him at 58 with the other players that will be available. If he falls to the early 4th id consider moving up for him.

Bernard is not a 1st round pick. He's a mid/late 2nd rounder that could feasibly slip to the early 3rd. Have no issues taking Bernard at 58 or a small trade up a few slots to 53-56 if he was our guy. Also guys like Antonio Williams and Ted Hurst are going to be around at 58 so lots of good WR options there.

Cooper Jr is better than Bernard although he might not even be there at 27 now.

If Im the 49ers and Cooper Jr makes it to #24 where the Browns pick Im trading a 2027 4th and 6th to move up to pick him. Then I'd try and trade back from 58 to get that 2027 4th back and grab Dunker or Rutledge to immediately start at LG.

But if we miss on Cooper in the 1st I'd take any one of Bernard, Williams, Hurst at 58 ... or Kendrick Law/Bryce Lance at 92

Yah I'm not counting on Cooper being there at #27. I mean if he is no doubt you take Cooper. I'm just trying to think how the 9ers brass thinks, we all didn't think Pearsall was a 1st round pick. Bernardo's Shanahan likes him I can see him reaching a little. Bernard had a pretty solid Combine performance to go along with his college career. IMO I think some of these players go higher than we think.

Instead of reaching for Bernard at 27 id prefer to trade up with the Browns to get Cooper Jr if he makes it to 24.

And with Cooper Jr's 40 time that could push Concepcion down to 27 if Cooper Jr went before him.

I think some players go higher than we think but at the same time I think some players people like and crush on and over value where they will get picked. Goes both waays

Any feedback on bell and why you think he should be the pick at 27?

In 5 years at Purdue and Oklahoma he never had more than 59 receptions and 620 yrds in a season. He missed a few games so that was part of it but that's always an issue with fast guys. They get a lot of muscle pulls.

In thyis draft I think I would rather trade out of the first for a second and third and draft 2 WRs and a LT there

With only 7 picks in this draft and no picks in the 6th and 7th rounds which is the bargain rounds. I don't see the 49ers trading up in the 1st round.

2027 4th and 7th gets us up to #24. Similar to the Aiyuk move up to secure him. This is dependent on Cooper Jr being 100% their guy. But I'd be good with that move. Then trade back from 58 or 92 to get back one of those 2027 picks.

There are a lot of guys that are worthy of being the pick. I dont really understand why fans get so up in arms about any one players draft position. They are all total guesses. Pick 27 vs 50-something? Who cares. The point is to bring in quality players that you can build around.

He's a YAC machine and would be a great compliment to Purdy especially if Jennings is gone. Nobody will replace prime Deebo but he has elite size and burst. There is no doubt he is a playmaker. Which we need desperately. Clean ACL tears are total non stories these days. 9-10 months of recovery and you're back to normal. It's a non factor to me. And the latest report is teams feel like he will be ready for TC.

I thought we weren't in the business of reaching for need? I don't hate Gerrmie Bernard, but in no way is his the 27th overall player in this draft.

If guys like cooper and KC go ahead of us, that means someone else good falls. SF could stand to improve just about everywhere.

What do you mean who cares? This team isn't a WR away from being back. They could upgrade just about everywhere. Draft whomever is highest on their board. kinda where we're at in this retooling.

I'm not really seeing some YAC machine. I guess I'm gonna need to find more stuff to watch. He doesn't come off as very savvy route runner. Not twitchy or very good separating (which is what we need). Toss in a ACL? I mean we're not getting him on some discount because of the current injury either. Pass

He asked me about one player. Not the entire offseason. This whole thing is an inexact (very inexact) science. Let it rip and see where it falls.

You don't draft for performance in Sept 2026. You draft to add long term assets. Who cares about week 1 when it comes to the draft. That's not the point.
