49ers Post-Draft Wide Receiver Depth Chart: New Faces All Around

Now that the 2026 NFL draft is in the rearview mirror, there will not be many moves that the San Francisco 49ers make between now and the start of training camp. So, it is a good time to go through the position groups and see what has changed. One room that looks different is the wide receiver room.

Mike Evans 

The team signed Evans in an effort to put the roster over the top. He has missed time in each of the past two seasons and has one, maybe two more years left. However, he also has a long list of big plays made in playoff games, so if the 49ers can get him healthy for their playoff run, the signing will be worth it. 

Ricky Pearsall

After two seasons, Pearsall has not stayed healthy enough to be trusted as a regular starter. This will be a major season for him because the team will have to decide on his fifth-year option after this year, and at this point, they would have to decline.

Christian Kirk 

Kirk had a solid prime, but injuries have held him to 379 and 239 yards, respectively, in each of the past two seasons. Right now, he is holding down the third receiver spot until Stribling can win it in training camp. 

D’Zhaun Stribling

Stribling was drafted to fill out the receiver room and give them a little more youth with Evans and Kirk again. Considering the health of the three receivers above him, he should get plenty of chances.
