The 49ers’ 2026 draft class features key players including Romello Height, an edge rusher from Texas Tech, selected in the third round, who aims to bolster a weak pass rush. Gracen Halton, a fourth-round defensive tackle from Oklahoma, is seen as a valuable pick due to his strong run-defense metrics. De’Zhaun Stribling, a speedy wide receiver from Ole Miss, is projected to become a standout in five years. However, the selection of Kaelon Black, a running back from Indiana in the third round, raises concerns given the team’s struggles to find success with mid-round running backs in recent years.
