With the 2026 NFL Draft quickly approaching, mock drafts are expanding beyond just the first round, offering insight into how the San Francisco 49ers could approach both Day 1 and Day 2.
In this week's roundup, analysts project a mix of first- and second-round selections, including one scenario that features a potential trade up, as San Francisco continues to shape its draft strategy.
Take a look at the latest projections from NFL Draft analysts:
- Round 1: Denzel Boston - WR, Washington
- Round 2: Jalen Farmer - OG, Kentucky
"Boston might not be the next Mike Evans, but there's overlap in their games, and the rookie can follow around one of the best vets ever to do it before taking Evans' spot in San Francisco in a year or two. Is receiver the most glaring need? That's debatable, but the fit felt right -- and like something the 49ers would do. They also could use an influx of athleticism on the O-line, and Farmer brings that as a quality run blocker and interesting project."
- Trade: 49ers get pick No. 23, Philadelphia Eagles get picks Nos. 27, 127, 133.
- Denzel Boston - WR, Washington
"The 49ers are in a unique spot. Though they don't have a third-round pick after trading for Cowboys defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa, John Lynch's team has four fourth-round picks, all coming between Nos. 127 and 139. I'd expect the 49ers to use some of those picks while they jump around the first three rounds of the draft, either to move up early or as a package to get back into the third round. In this scenario, they're trying to jump teams that are thinking about edge talents and wide receivers. The Eagles aren't in the market for a wideout (yet), but the Browns, Bears and Bills could all at least look toward options at wide receiver... The 49ers could move up here for someone such as Washington receiver Denzel Boston, who could serve as a valuable YAC producer and eventual Mike Evans replacement on the outside in San Francisco."
- Round 1: Kadyn Proctor - OT, Alabama
- Round 2: Germie Bernard - WR, Alabama
"The most physically impressive human in this draft class, Proctor (6-7, 352) has rare body control for his size. Physically, he has All-Pro potential. On the field, however, he can be inconsistent in protection and might need a year on the bench (or some time at guard) before being trusted as a blindside protector."
- Kadyn Proctor - OT, Alabama
"When focused, he is dominant. Spending a year learning from Trent Williams will really help his game. He just needs more from a play-to-play standpoint."
- T.J. Parker - OLB/DE, Clemson
"A 6-foot-4, 263-pounder who had 11 sacks and six forced fumbles in 2024, Parker would be a nice addition to a defense that values depth along its front – and needs it with DEs Nick Bosa and Mykel Williams on the road to recovery from 2025 knee injuries."
- Mike Iheanachor - OT, Arizona State
"The 330-pound Goliath offensive tackle is relatively new to football, starting in 2021 and has struggled with consistency throughout college... the 49ers can afford to use this pick as a future investment on their offensive line, and Iheanachor's fluid movement fits perfectly in Kyle Shanahan's zone rushing scheme."
