The San Francisco 49ers are in a very interesting place as a program. Head coach Kyle Shanahan is one of the very best in the NFL, and when this team is healthy, they can beat anyone in the league. This is a roster that is very talented, but is also a bit top heavy right now. 

Like most rosters in the league, San Francisco could be best served to add to the overall pool of talent. The 2026 NFL Draft could serve as an opportunity to fill those holes in the roster. In the latest 7-round mock draft, Brock Purdy gained a talented new passing game weapon, and Nick Bosa was given a new partner in crime. 

Round 1, Pick 25: Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State

Tate was a good player in 2024, but he has become a tremendous one so far during the 2025 college football season. Blessed with impressive length and catch radius, Tate is also a super smooth athlete when getting in and out of his breaks. The game has really been slowing down for the Buckeye standout so far this year, and he has the look of a top option on the NFL level.  

Round 2, Pick 59: R Mason Thomas, EDGE, Oklahoma 

The Sooner star is one of the more talented pass rushers in the 2026 class overall. He isn’t going to be for everyone due to his outlier size, but Thomas can get after the quarterback. That is very valuable on the NFL level. 

Round 3, Pick 90: Fa’alili Fa’amoe, OT, Wake Forest 

With starting right tackle Colton McKivitz just being re-signed to a new contract, the 49ers aren’t necessarily looking for a replacement, but injuries happen in the NFL. Fa’amoe can also be some insurance for Trent Williams at left tackle as he continues to age. There is also a world where the former Washington State transfer helps inside at guard if the need is there. 

Round 4, Pick 125: Michael Trigg, TE, Baylor 

If not for some of the field questions, Trigg could go quite a bit higher. He is a dynamic pass game weapon with outstanding movement skills and length. If Trigg is locked in, he has a chance to be a valuable contributor very early on. 

Round 4, Pick 136: Tacario Davis, CB, Washington 

From a physical perspective, there is a lot to love about Davis. He has big time length, a strong frame, and really impressive movement skills for his size. While he might be somewhat scheme specific, Davis has the talent to eventually develop into a starter on the next level. 

Round 4, Pick 139: Terry Moore, S, Duke 

Moore is dealing with an injury, but when healthy, he is one of the more talented safeties in the 2026 class. The former running back is powerfully built with very underrated range. There is a ton of upside to continue tapping into. 

Round 4, Pick 141: Jude Bowry, OT, Boston College 

From a body type and length perspective, there is a lot to like about Bowry. He is a very inconsistent player right now, but there are certainly some tools to work with. Bowry will need some time to develop behind a player like Williams. 

Round 6, Pick 180: Tim Keenan, DT, Alabama 

There is nothing dynamic about Keenan, but he is as safe of an interior defensive lineman as you will find in this class. He plays with great power and aggression in the run game. There should be an early down role for Keenan in the right situation. 

Round 6, Pick 197: Kyle Louis, LB, Pittsburgh 

Louis is an outlier from a size perspective, but he is very athletic and smart. His lack of size and length might stop him from becoming an every down starter on the next level, but special teams should be his saving grace. That brings a very solid floor to the table.
