That's a wrap for the 2026 NFL Draft. Three days of the top football prospects yearning to actualize their dreams of making it to the NFL, are in the books.

The San Francisco 49ers concluded their selection after adding eight new players through the draft including Mississippi receiver De'Zhaun Stribling, Texas Tech edge Romello Height and Indiana running back Kaelon Black.

All of the 49ers players were selected in the second round or later, after the team traded the No. 27 overall pick for extra selections.

"Our gut was to stay and pick. We really like De'Zhaun Stribling. Everything that he stands for. The player, the person. We have a deal, the highest standard as a 49er in our draft process is called the gold helmet. It's checking every box, on the field, off the field, athleticism. De'Zhaun was one of the 16 that we gave this year," 49ers general manager John Lynch said. "So to make that your first pick at wide receiver, the way that he plays, his physicality that he plays with, his speed, his size. We just love the whole package and it kept growing and growing to the point where we were proud to make him a 49er."

The full list of 49ers draftees includes Oklahoma defensive tackle Gracen Halton, Washington offensive lineman Carter Willis, Washington defensive back Ephesians Prysock, Louisiana linebacker Jaden Dugger and Kansas offensive lineman Enrique Cruz Jr.

While some players in the draft immediately earn starting jobs on their new teams, the newest 49ers most likely won't be. Between key starters returning and splash offseason signings, San Francisco's incoming rookie class will look to earn time on the field starting as second- or third-string players.
