49ers select De'Zhaun Stribling-WR-Ole Miss with the 33rd pick in the 2026 NFL Draft

The national backlash to this pick was unreal. Let's not forget Shanahan having to go on national TV and explain their thinking behind the pick.

It's early, but damn, it's starting to look like they finally did outsmart the league lmao. Strib is a baller.

De'Zhaun Stribling highlights from his preseason debut. Very impressive.

Come on let's not act like this place didn't go crazy in the same way when we picked him.

Folks would rather go based off what others say, than using their own eyes. Everything showed he would be perfect for our team, our offense.

Ok now lets put him in a bubble till week one. Btw where is Cowing?? still nursing a hammy or sat this one out?

He's in no position to sit these games out …. He's also in no position to be hurt again .

Evans is #1 and Stribs #2 with Debbo/Robinson #3. Robinson more WR And Debo as WO.

So thats why i say Keep Stribs on light work

Man, this WR group could've been special with a healthy Pearsall...

He looks good, think a lot of us are enamored about his speed but right now his biggest strengths might be his size and hands

Not one of them, honestly I did not go either way. Waited till more information came out on him. I never follow guys like Kiper or Grant etc. for a long time. Plus I knew the niners could go in a number of directions depending how the draft fell. Could have been different pick if a certain DE or Safety and maybe even linemen fell down the draft board.

Glad though it the draft fell the way it did, especially after RP situation.

I think DR is going to be more valuable than Debo and lets not forget Watkins.

Second best QB on the team.

Same I was one of the few who liked the pick and thought he was the perfect fit in our offense I'm sure I can find it early in this thread but that isn't really that important

After almost 10 years coaching the 9ers, Kyle has FINALLY found his Julio Jones. We'll see if he remembers how to use him.

Telling you, this guy is a STUD. He has the work ethic. He takes things seriously. He's going to be an all pro at some point.
