Love Cracks Top 10 as 49ers Draft Tight End in Zierlein's 2026 Mock
NFL draft analyst Lance Zierlein releases his first 2026 Mock Draft 1.0, blending team needs with prospect grades to project picks No. 1–32 for the Pittsburgh draft, with electric Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love pegged in the top 10 and the San Francisco 49ers targeting a tight end at No. 27 in light of George Kittle’s Achilles injury; the mock spans quarterbacks, linemen, edge rushers and playmakers, and notes that future mocks will lean more on team strategy as the draft approaches.
