A quick reminder: The San Francisco 49ers spent considerable effort revamping their roster last offseason by parting ways with several aging and expensive players and infusing plenty of promising talent via the NFL Draft.
Now, with nearly a full regular season in the books, it's always worth examining how the 2026 draft class performed across the league, which is precisely what ESPN's Benjamin Solak did in naming his All-Rookie team.
Unfortunately for Niners fans, they'll be hard-pressed to find a lot of their favorite rookies on Solak's list.
Remember, San Francisco invested heavily on defense, using its five of its first picks on that side of the ball, including three players to reinforce what was a depleted defensive line.
