Summary

The 49ers remained active on Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft, but this time they finally selected players. In the process, San Francisco also said goodbye to linebacker Dee Winters in a trade with the Dallas Cowboys. On this episode of '49ers Talk,' Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan break down the additions of wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling, edge rusher Romello Height, and running back Kaelon Black. Later, Matt and Jennifer look ahead to Day 3 of the NFL draft, where the 49ers begin with five picks, and debate where San Francisco will add to their roster next.
