Inside the 2026 NFL Draft: Unexpected Heroes and Shocking Falls That Could Change the League Forever
Billed as the biggest losers of the draft, the San Francisco 49ers and Jacksonville Jaguars were among the more underwhelming teams – with both accused of ‘reaching’ when drafting players higher than their consensus rating.
San Francisco traded out of the first round then picked receiver De’Zhaun Stribling with the first pick of the second – much higher than he was expected to go.
They then added running back Kaelon Black – who did not even get an invitation to the NFL Combine – in the third round. The Niners have a poor recent record both with second round picks and running backs, so neither bodes well.
