49ers select Ole Miss WR De'Zhaun Stribling at No. 33
The San Francisco 49ers selected Ole Miss wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling with the 33rd overall pick in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Stribling is a 6-foot-2, 207-pound perimeter receiver WHO ran a 4.36 at his Ole Miss pro day and caught 55 passes for 811 yards and six touchdowns in 2025. His route-adjusted yards after catch measured 36 percent above expected in 2025 (29 percent in 2024) and he posted a 9.57 RAS, signaling rare athleticism for his size. The pick gives San Francisco a physical outside target with speed and YAC upside WHO adds immediate depth and contested-catch ability to the 49ers receiving corps.
No. 33: De'Zhaun Stribling, WR, Ole Miss Holy shit, this is great for my agenda but another big riser. Honestly love the fit (his comp imo is Jauan Jennings), so I see why the Niners would target him. Boston and Bernard graded better for me, but I think this is a pretty fun selection
No. 34: Chase Bisontis, G, Texas A&M I'm very happy the Cardinals didn't chase QB here, love Bisontis. Rock solid pass blocker with strong hands. Can slide to left or right guard. They needed OL and the tackle class has dried up a bit, I'm a fan of this one
Stout, hard blocking catch and run WR with 4.3 speed. Makes a ton of sense for Shanny's offense.
