The San Francisco 49ers are an organization that is in a very interesting spot right now. With head coach Kyle Shanahan leading the team, this is a proud organization that has enough talent to make a run in any given year. Unfortunately for the upside of this team, they have dealt with so many injuries over the last couple of seasons, including now with quarterback Brock Purdy.

With both Shanahan and Purdy in place, however, this is a team that will want to preserve its winning window as long as possible. In order to do that, general manager John Lynch must continue to replenish the roster with talent. In the latest 7-round 2026 NFL mock draft, adding more support around Purdy was the priority. From there, attacking additional needs was the next most pressing issue.

Round 1, Pick 18: Caleb Lomu, OT, Utah 

Trent Williams is one of the best left tackles we have seen in some time, but he is nearing the end of his NFL career. The 49ers would be wise to start to think about long-term options when Williams does hang it up, and Lomu would make a lot of sense. A very talented athlete, Lomu is still just beginning to understand how good a player he can become.

Round 2, Pick 50: Eric Singleton Jr., WR, Auburn 

When you think of what Shanahan wants at wide receiver in his offense, after catch ability and explosive play upside are two things that quickly come to mind. The former Georgia Tech transfer is a potential home run every time he touches the football. While most will pay closest attention to his YAC flashes, Singleton is also a very talented route runner.

Round 3, Pick 82: Will Lee III, CB, Texas A&M

If you love physical press man cornerbacks, then you will be a huge fan of Lee’s game. He also has enough zone instincts to fit into multiple schemes. While the former Kansas State transfer doesn’t have the greatest long speed of all time, he has the length and change of direction skills to become a quality starter early in his career.

Round 4, Pick 118: Anto Saka, EDGE, Northwestern 

Saka hasn’t been able to put it all together yet, but Saka is an extremely talented pass rusher. If he is able to develop, then he will be a major steal at this point in the draft.

Round 4, Pick 138: Zane Durant, DT, Penn State 

From a size perspective, Durant isn’t going to be for everyone. Despite that lack of size, the 6-1, 290-pound defensive tackle plays with more power than you’d anticipate. He is at his best, however, when he’s able to penetrate gaps. 

Round 4, Pick 140: Fa’alili Fa’amoe, OT, Wake Forest 

Fa’amoe has some heavy hands with enough athleticism to potentially play either right tackle or inside at guard on the next level. The former Washington State standout has lost a little glow since he transferred, but Fa’amoe is still well-liked in NFL circles. 

Round 6, Pick 193: Terrance Carter, TE, Texas Tech 

Carter is an undersized tight end, but he has some legitimate upside as a movement piece, offering a lot of upside as a mismatched weapon. With George Kittle being such a good blocker, you could potentially mix and match his skill set with Carter in some multiple tight end sets.
