The Athletic has live coverage of the 2026 NFL Draft.As many expected heading into the draft, the San Francisco 49ers used their top pick on a wide receiver.But it wasn’t Washington’s Denzel Boston or any of the more well-known prospects at the position. It was De’Zhaun Stribling, a 207-pounder who ran a 4.36-second 40-yard dash. Stribling is the second burner from Ole Miss that the 49ers have taken in as many years. Last year, they used a fourth-round pick on Jordan Watkins.Advertisement
