Through the first three rounds of the 2026 NFL draft, the San Francisco 49ers have made multiple trades to acquire picks later on, but have only taken three players.
After going without a pick on Day 1, they added wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling, defensive end Romello Heigt and running back Kaelon Black on Day 2.
San Francisco still needs help if they want to reach their full potential in 2026 after coming up short in 2025 due to injuries and inconsistent play down the stretch.
With Day 3 of the draft set to start at 12 p.m. ET on Saturday, let's take a look at the best players available.
The 49ers don't have many starting jobs open, but they could definitely use a guard, and depth, as we saw last year, is always important. That's why general manager John Lynch needs to make the right moves on Saturday to help the team.
