Summary
The San Francisco Forty-Niners are under fire for controversial draft picks, including second-round wide receiver DeZhaun Stribling and third-round running back Kaelon Black—moves that baffled analysts and raised red flags. While Stribling shows promise in camp, Black’s lack of Combine invite and shaky college tape make his selection especially risky, especially given the team’s history of middling RB drafts. But there’s silver lining: third-round pass rusher Romello Height and fourth-round defensive tackle Gracen Halton are hailed as steals. The front office, led by Shanahan and Lynch, clearly went their own way—betting big on players they believe can contribute immediately. If these picks flop, the pressure on the coaches could mount.
