The 49ers shock fans by drafting wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling at 33, a pick that surprised some but wasn’t alone—ESPN’s Adam Schefter reveals the Rams also ranked him top receiver in the class. Stribling, a dynamic athlete from Ole Miss with 52 catches and 6 TDs last season, impressed at the combine and earned high praise from Coach Shanahan for his route-running, size, hands, and physicality. With key receivers Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne gone, and Brandon Aiyuk possibly departing, San Francisco’s receiving corps is being rebuilt—with veterans Mike Evans and Christian Kirk joining QB Brock Purdy. Stribling, who had a winding path from North Carolina to Hawaii to Ole Miss, is now poised to be the spark in a revamped 49ers offense.
