Best players available for 49ers on Day 3 of the 2026 NFL draft

Through the first three rounds of the 2026 NFL draft, the San Francisco 49ers have made multiple trades to acquire picks later on, but have only taken three players.

After going without a pick on Day 1, they added wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling, defensive end Romello Heigt and running back Kaelon Black on Day 2.

San Francisco still needs help if they want to reach their full potential in 2026 after coming up short in 2025 due to injuries and inconsistent play down the stretch.
