ESPN’s Bill Barnwell suggests the San Francisco 49ers trade up to the No. 23 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft to secure a wide receiver, moving from their current No. 27 spot by sending two fourth-round picks to the Philadelphia Eagles. With the team needing to outpace other wide receiver-needy franchises, Barnwell highlights Washington receiver Denzel Boston as a potential target. The 49ers, having traded Deebo Samuel Sr. and with Brandon Aiyuk’s uncertain future, recently signed veterans Mike Evans and Christian Kirk. As the NFL draft season begins, the 49ers may explore more trade scenarios due to their surplus of fourth-round picks.
