A fresh crop of a NFL talent will soon grace the league as the 2026 NFL Draft is just days away. The San Francisco 49ers have to figure out which direction they plan to head going into the draft.San Francisco has a total of six draft picks in the upcoming draft, including the No. 27 pick in the first round. The 2026 NFL Draft is April 23-25 at Point State Park and Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.Arguably, the top position they need to address is the offensive line, and particularly the tackle position.

Pro Bowl offensive lineman Trent Williams turns 38 this summer, and at some point, San Francisco will have to begin to think of his replacement.They will need more receiving options, whether at wideout or tight end. George Kittle suffered an Achilles injury that kept him out of postseason play, but the team expects him to be available at the start of the 2026 season.However, it wouldn't be crazy for them to lean towards finding two weapons for Brock Purdy, especially after the season-long fiasco with Brandon Aiyuk. They've added Mike Evans and Christian Kirk, but they could be out to get more.Defensively, they need to improve their secondary at the safety positions.

They have Ji'Ayir Brown and Malik Mustapha but could look to bring in more talent at strong safety and free safety positions. Their front seven or eight could use some patching up, especially on the defensive line.They will need to beef up their D-line and find a backup answer for Nick Bosa. Bosa played three games before he missed the season with a torn ACL.

It was a huge loss for the 49ers and finding an insurance plan would benefit them in case more unfortunate events persist.Here's what experts are saying about the 49ers and who they should target in the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft:When is the 2026 NFL Draft?The 2026 NFL Draft is April 23-25 at Point State Park and Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

This mock draft includes potential trades. USA TODAY Sports:27. OT Caleb Lomu, UtahAyrton Ostly writes: "San Francisco hasn’t selected an offensive lineman in the first round since Mike McGlinchey in 2018.

It may be time to do so. The 49ers have some questions at left tackle with Trent Williams’ future in doubt. Even if he’s back, the team could use more from its left guard after losing Spencer Burford in free agency.

Lomu is a young prospect and could start at guard immediately before moving to left tackle - where he played for Utah - in time. His athleticism and anchor in pass protection give him a solid floor to work with in the NFL."62. San Francisco 49ers (via Broncos): Edge Malachi Lawrence, UCF"Nick Bosa should be back healthy in 2026, and the team got a pass-rush boost with Osa Odighizuwa arriving via trade.

But the team could use more pass rushers to fill out the edge room, especially with 2025 first-rounder Mykel Williams having more of an impact as a run defender early on. Lawrence is full of tools with prototypical size and elite burst off the line. He’s more of a projection at this point but could develop well under Kris Kocurek." -- Ayrton Ostly133.

Lomu could start over Trent Williams if the team moved on from him, or he could be a developmental lineman for the future of the team." -- Oliver G.

Round 2, Pick No. 58: Germie Bernard, WR, Alabama"Despite the additions of Mike Evans and Christian Kirk, the 49ers need to shore up their receiver room. Evans will be 33 when
