Niners Nation • • sports
Key Points:
- The San Francisco 49ers are projected to select Kadyn Proctor, an offensive tackle from Alabama, with the 27th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft; Proctor is noted for his exceptional physical traits but may need development before starting as a blindside protector.
- At pick 58, the 49ers are expected to choose Germie Bernard, a wide receiver from Alabama, adding depth to their receiving corps.
- A potential trade scenario for the 49ers involves sending a 2026 second-round pick, a fourth-round pick, and wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk to acquire defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, bolstering their defensive line.
- The 49ers have scheduled their local pro day for April 8, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. PT, with a list of participants and media availability to be announced that day.
- ESPN analyst Bill Barnwell's mock draft suggests the 49ers might trade up from pick 27 to 23 by dealing picks 27, 127, and 133 to the Philadelphia Eagles, potentially to select Washington receiver Denzel Boston as a future key wide receiver.
