The San Francisco 49ers kicked off their 2026 NFL Draft by selecting Ole Miss wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling with the 33rd overall pick. While Kyle Shanahan clearly sees a specific fit for the 6'2" playmaker, the "We Want Winners" crew isn't so sure about the value of this selection.

In this clip, Rod Adams and Garrett Gonzales break down why taking Stribling at the top of the second round feels like a significant reach. Despite his impressive 4.36 speed and production at Ole Miss, many draft boards had Stribling projected much lower—with some analysts even seeing him as a mid-to-late round prospect.

Key discussion points in this video include:

The "Reach" Factor: Why Rod believes the 49ers could have secured Stribling much later in the draft.

Missed Opportunities: Looking at the elite talent still on the board at pick 33 that the 49ers bypassed.

The Shanahan System: Does Stribling’s fit in the offense justify the "overdraft," or is this another case of the front office getting too "cute" with their evaluations?

Whether you love the pick or think the Niners left better players on the table, we want to hear from you! Was Stribling a smart "get your guy" move, or a wasted opportunity for better value?

Comment your thoughts below! Do you think Stribling will prove the doubters wrong?
