WRs: 2026 Draft Class

Take Febechi Unwaiwu at G (who can also play C) at #92, Jude Bowry at #110 (from trade back from #58), and Malik Benson/Kendrick Law WR at #127 and Trey Zuhn III at #171

Offense upgraded ✅

WR
Pearsall
Doubbs
Cooper Jr
Benson/Law
Watkins
Cowing

TE
Kittle
Tonges
Stowers - 4.50 speed crazy athletic basically replaces Jennings and is immediately better, faster, more athletic and a big target.
Roush

OL
Williams
Unwaiwu
Brendel/Zuhn
Puni
McKivitz
Bowry (Swing T)

If Brock can't get it done vs SEA/LAR with adding Unwaiwu, Bowry, and Zuhn to the OL and especially with those WR/TE targets then he is not the one.

In summary:

27. Omar Cooper Jr WR
65-70. Eli Stowers TE
92. Febechi Unwaiwu G
110. Jude Bowry OT
127. Malik Benson/Kendrick Law WR
133. Zane Durant/Landon Robinson DT
138. Sam Roush TE
171. Trey Zuhn III C (has experience at G/T as well)

Stowers' blocking stinks. I'd much rather take Roush(who imo will be long gone before 138)

Also the lack of pass rush with your draft is scary.

Also have a few people on the bench with other needs not a fan as well

its really hard to do a draft without FA

ideally in a perfect FA I would go after G like Seumalo, Edwards, or Bitonio then get Doubbs at WR

in the draft go get a S DL and slot WR with first 3 rounds

Stowers isn't there to block he is there as a move TE and essentially a big WR that is 4.50 fast. I dont think Roush is more than a 4th rounder but we'll see and if we like him trade up to the 110-120s from 138 and get him. Drafting Roush in the top 100 is a Nick Martin pick so prob Lynch is drafting Roush at 92 then. Draft Joe Royer if Roush is gone.

Pass rush grab Joey Bosa or Hendrickson in FA. Durant is a pass rushing DT as well.

Our lack of weapons at WR and TE is scary. That draft fixes OL, WR, and TE + adds a pass rushing DT. If Brock is who we want him to be give him the damn weapons and protection to distribute to.

We scored three FGs in two games against SEA and it had much to do with zero threats on the outside to get open and win.

Fix the offense this year in the draft. We get Bosa, Warner, and Mykel back this year. Sign one of Bosa, Hendrickson or Franklin-Meyers.

If you want more pass rush sub out Roush and add Max Llewellyn EDGE at 138 to pair with Durant. I dont like the EDGE options in this draft after the 2nd round.

Joey Bosa/Hendrickson/Franklin-Meyers
Durant/Robinson
+
All the guys we're getting back on D

Should make the pass rush a hell of a lot better.

The offense needs to be fixed. 9 points in two games vs Seattle illuminated this fact.

The 49ers could also be looking for RB's, CB, and S positions! Something tells me they will trade QB Mac Jones, and maybe trade back in the draft to pickup more picks. They have alot of needs both at starter and depth positions! Curious who they go after in Free Agency for immediate help in the 2026 season! 🏈

With the Evans signing this changes things unlikely we will be going Wr early in draft. Also removed the need to spend a top pick on an X WR. I think the last missing piece is a slot WR im a huge fan of Coleman Jr

I agree this free's up the number 27 pick to go truly BPA

Coleman is good for sure - could land him with one of our 4th rounders and I'd be pleased.

Don't forget about Malik Benson and Tyren Montgomery either - the latter had a great senior bowl and Benson ran a 4.36 and is explosive and a burner in the slot and is a PR/KR (pull up his youtube) - would love if he was there at #127. Also Kendrick Law is a more powerful guy we can put in the slot if he is available at #127.

In order of preference I'd take

Kendrick Law
Malik Benson
Kevin Coleman Jr
Tyren Montgomery

As stoked as I am about the Mike Evans signing, I remain firmly in the day 2 WR camp. Feels like rounds 2-3 are the best place to target high end, if not elite tier WRs, especially given how deep this WR class.

My favorites are Brazell, Bernard and Hurst. And I'm not sure I can pick a top choice between them…

Problem is #58 is prime position to draft an immediate starting LG (Pregnon or Rutledge). At #92 Bernard, Brazell, and Hurst are long gone.

Next tier in Rd 3 is

Kendrick Law
Brennan Thompson
Bryce Lance
Zachariah Branch

Rd 4/5 is

Malik Benson
Kevin Coleman Jr
Tyren Montgomery
Deion Burks

But would have no problem if the guy Kyle loved was one of those you mentioned and drafted them at #58

I just want good players that will contribute and not bust

Tough to accept that we won't get any of my receiver draft crushes. This is a generational class. I love so many of them.

Cooper, Brazzell, Sarratt, Coleman, Bernard, Thompson, Caldwell, Branch, Bell, Brown, Hurst, Law, Roberts, Cyrus Allen...

Any of them would be great picks.

They may still draft one, you never know. It is possibe the WR is bpa when they pick in rd 2 or 3. (I doubt rd1, but you never know)

its possible but i think WR will end up being a day 3 pick unless we make some additional big moves

agreed. I am hoping they keep Trent. Then WR and Tackle can be day 3 guys they develop.

Cooper Jr and Concepcion still MAY be BPA at #27. Absolutely nothing wrong with taking one of them even with the Evans signing. We still need more at WR. If we sign Deebo then maybe can wait on WR but we should go BPA as Evans and Deebo (if he was signed here) are just band aids. Obv nothing wrong with going WR at #58 in Antonio Williams/Ted Hurst/Chris Brazzell etc. - whoever is their guy just get him ideally at appropriate value.

Evans
Pearsall
Cooper Jr/Concepcion

Would be a pretty potent combination. Plus Pearsall gets hurt easily it seems and if he goes down then what? Mike Evans and Watkins??? Hell no.

But if Pearsall or Evans misses time and our starting WRs are Evans/Pearsall and Cooper Jr/Concepcion then we are still good (barely).

With Deebo I would love to grab Kendrick Law at #92 (or trade back for an additional late 3rd to get him)

Evans
Pearsall
Deebo
Law
Watkins
Cowing

What makes this a stacked class compared to the prospects of the past few years?
