The San Francisco 49ers hold all the cards to open the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft after trading back to No. 33 last night.
With the first pick of the second round, teams are surely checking in to see if the 49ers would be willing to trade down, and that seems like a real possibility with the chance to pick up additional draft capital.
But there are also several players available at No. 33 that San Francisco would’ve likely considered at No. 27, so they very well could just sit pat and pick.
With Day 2 of the draft starting soon, let’s look at the available players on the board and see the five best fits for the 49ers at No. 33.
WR Denzel Boston
If you’ve been tracking the 49ers’ pre-draft interests, you’ve likely heard of Boston.
The 49ers did a ton of due diligence on wide receivers in this class, and Boston was a name who was expected to go in Round 1 that slid back to the top of the second round. And he’ll probably go quite early, if not at No. 33.
At 6’4, 210 pounds, Boston is a bigger receiver, with our Kyle Posey giving him the comp of Mike Evans, who coincidentally is also a Niner. What better way to learn and develop than being around Evans every single day?
