Kyle Juszczyk breaks down the 49ers' 2026 offensive draft class

The San Francisco 49ers traded out of the first round multiple times during the 2026 draft, drawing plenty of outside scrutiny. Kyle Juszczyk isn't worried about it. The veteran fullback appeared on the Rich Eisen Show this week and offered his early impressions of the rookie class after the team's first week of offseason work together — and he came away encouraged.

Wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling, who was taken with the first pick of the second round out of Ole Miss, immediately stood out to Juszczyk for reasons that go beyond football. "Just the conversation that we had and getting to know one another," Juszczyk said. "He grew up in Hawaii, he's from a military family, so he's very buttoned up, very well spoken.

You can tell he's got a good head on his shoulders. " Juszczyk pointed to Stribling's explosion and acceleration as things that caught his eye right away. "The way he's able to open up his stride so quickly for a guy of his size — that really stood out to me," he said.

"I'm excited for this week when we're actually going against the defense and running plays. " 💻 @JuiceCheck44 The All-Pro fullback broke down the @49ers draft class and what he's expecting from the crew crop: #NFL #FTTB pic. twitter.
