Day 2

[tsylvester]

That is my guess, he showed promise in limited action last season. He fits the mold; maulers in the middle.

That and the centers in this draft were largely not very good.

They did well thus far, a few head scratches but the more I ruminate on it, the rb makes sense. While he is inexperienced, learning behind Henry and his time at wr, he is a decent, on paper, replacement for Mitchel..

The two wode outs means there will be quite rhe battle in the receivers room, Bateman or Tez may be on their way out....

 

They got a guy to set the edge and with some coaching, may turn out to be a very good pass rusher. In the mean time, he shares snaps with Green, allowing Hendricks, also good against the run, to stay on the field for 3 downs.

Slot corner, good depth.

I would like a big phatty, but maybe they have their eye on one who goes undrafted.

An athletic tight end with very good ball skills. All in all, add in what should be a starting guard great at pass protection, I would say a successful draft without seeing the 6th & 7th round picks

Really, I was impressed by our overall draft. Most of the picks were B+ or better...the TE pick in the 4th has me at a loss, but I really don't have much data on him. I'm still feeling real high on Serrat. Don't know about Lane but he could wind up being a surprise but it was a reach for us. Overall, I'm happy with the draft, but I don't feel warm and fuzzy about the center position. Bullock did well but in limited usage. We might still make a trade for one.

Another pick I liked was the Mizzou edge  rusher.

Z Harris is still available, maybe they grab him here in the 6th

6 and 7 should see a punter too?

The way he gets open and runs reminds me a lot of Andrews when he was younger.

Ryan Eckley has a very strong leg, averaging 48.5 yards per punt in 2025 -- the highest among FBS players with at least 10 punts. He has the touch to place the ball within the 20-yard line, doing so 20 times in 2025. His strong leg can outkick his coverage at times, so he needs to improve his hang time. Overall, Eckley has great leg strength to flip the field. -- Scouts Inc.

2 late picks in the 7th, 34th and 37th

The big phatty from Ole Miss is still there

Details on the trade up with San Fran, from a San Fran page

The San Francisco 49ers made another move on Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft, trading pick No. 133 to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for pick No. 154 and a 2027 sixth-round selection.

Rayshaun Benny, dt, Michigan,  6'-3", 298

Benny is a stout run defender who plays with good pad level and shows the ability to shoot his hands and drive blockers into the backfield. He tracks the ball well, disengages in time to make plays and fights through double-teams. He has the quickness to get into gaps and can slip blocks to disrupt plays. Benny has primarily been aligned inside, but he has also had snaps on the edge, showing some positional versatility. As a pass rusher, he flashes upside, generating push and collapsing the pocket. Overall, Benny remains a bit raw, but he has developmental potential. -- Scouts Inc.

Evan Bernstein, og, North Western

Harris went undrafted, Eric should be on the phone with him asap 

[oldno82]

Like the punter pick based on his stats. Benny sounds good too...all dependent on how accurate Scouts, Inc. is, I guess.

[tsylvester]

Overall I think it was a very good draft, maybe a starter or two, role players, special teams, and even a player I really wanted them to draft lol
