Something is rotten in Santa Clara.
The 49ers draft process isn’t just off, it’s systematically broken. The 2026 class is just the latest entry in a 5+ year pattern of pissing down their own leg.
Here's a summary of the 2026 class:
- A 60-pick reach in Round 2.
- A flawed “need” player over higher-upside talent.
- And, of course, the "Shanahan classic:" a RB taken 40-70 spots earlier than expected while premium positions sit untouched.
This isn’t misfortunate. It’s a pronounced, fundamental failure to understand value and evaluate talent. One reach is defensible. Doing it every year, while consistently flaunting the board, is malpractice.
Take Stribling: the Niners passed on higher-graded players at positions of need - Bisontis, T.J. Parker, Kayden McDonald, Cashius Howell, C.J. Allen, Colton Hood (all who went within the next 8-9 picks) - to draft a traits-based WR projected for the middle of Round 3, if not later. Best case, he develops into a good player but contributes nothing this year while immediate impact options at guard or edge go elsewhere.
Then they trade back from 58, passing on players like Anthony Hill and Keyron Crawford, only to land Romello Height, a 25-year-old with a capped ceiling. Even if he produces, the opportunity cost is glaring. You don’t pass on young, ascending talent for marginal contributors unless you’ve got a broken framework for evaluating talent.
And then the signature move: reaching ~60 picks for Kaelon Black. A fine player, sure, but with no distinguishing traits (call him Jordan James redux...but taken 60 picks earlier). A Day 3 back taken on Day 2 while OL (Trey Zuhn, Gennings Dunker), WR (Chris Bell), EDGE (Barham), and S (Jalon Kilgore) talent remained on the board. It’s not just suboptimal, it’s flat-out incoherent.
At some point, this stops being debatable. Under @JohnLynch49ers, this regime has gone 6 drafts without producing a single Pro Bowl player. The results aren’t unlucky; they’re consistent. And consistently mediocre at best (see 2024/2025) and disastrous (2021, 2022 and 2023) at worst.
@JedYork, tolerating this is a choice. And that choice is settling for permanent underachievement. Enough is enough.

@eldoctornfl McDuffie apunta una debilidad clara de los Rams, un CB así inclinaría la balanza o la hubiera hecho en la final de conferencia, los Rams están lit a un CB de ese superbowl
El arte no debe ser pretencioso, no tiene que explicar lo que trata de comunicar, no usa narrativa directa para ser una MP, explíquese MCR en long live black parade vs cierto concierto mundial que duró 15 mins y consideran es Top, hasta el del año pasado es más arte que este
The Niners had to play the Mahomes dynasty Chiefs in the Super Bowl twice and the Seahawks get to play the San Jose State club flag football team, nice.
Es increíble como 32 dueños racistas, le dan al público lo que quiere para tener más dinero, ellos sin cambiar sus ideales, entonces la pregunta es qué tan importante es primero el dinero y la prostitución de la ideologías antes de un cambio verdadero
Independientemente de la música, como show de medio tiempo fue brutal. Cámaras, escenario, historia, invitados, la neta estuvo entretenido.
Un sólido 7.5
