The San Francisco 49ers are wasting no time locking in their future stars. As the 2026 NFL Draft class begins to take shape, the team has officially signed six of their eight selections, signaling a strong start to building next season's roster.

Leading the pack is second-round pick De'Zhaun Stribling, a dynamic playmaker the 49ers snagged at the top of the second round after trading out of the first round on opening night in Pittsburgh. Stribling's addition adds serious depth and athleticism to the defensive backfield, a move that has fans buzzing about what's to come.

Also putting pen to paper are third-round running back Kaelon Black, a versatile weapon out of the backfield who could become a key contributor in the 49ers' ground game. Joining him are fourth-round offensive lineman Carver Willis, fourth-round cornerback Ephesians Prysock, fifth-round linebacker Jaden Dugger, and fifth-round offensive lineman Enrique Cruz. Each brings a unique skill set that fits the 49ers' blueprint for success.

Still waiting on signatures are third-round defensive end Romello Height and fourth-round defensive tackle Gracen Halton, but with the momentum building, those deals are likely just around the corner.

Beyond the draft, the 49ers have also announced agreements with seven undrafted free agents, adding even more talent to the mix. The incoming group includes tight end Khalil Dinkins (Penn State), defensive linemen Bryson Eason (Tennessee), Mikail Kamara (Indiana), and James Thompson (Illinois), wide receivers Wesley Grimes (NC State) and Will Pauling (Notre Dame), and safety Jalen Stroman (Notre Dame).

For 49ers fans, this early wave of signings is a promising glimpse into the team's future. Whether you're tracking the next breakout star or just love seeing new faces in red and gold, it's an exciting time to be part of the faithful. Stay tuned as the rest of the class gets locked in.
