The San Francisco 49ers have a big decision to make with their first-round pick, with the 2026 NFL Draft coming up in less than a week.

While it is widely assumed the San Francisco 49ers are going to select a wide receiver at some point during the 2026 NFL draft, can the 49ers have a successful draft without taking a wide receiver?

Ranking hot, lukewarm, and cold prospects for the 49ers at each pick

NFL teams are going through various exercises ahead of the NFL Draft. The goal is to prepare yourself for any potential unexpected scenario while you’re on the clock.
