0:00Mop draft experts are buzzing as the 2026 NFL draft nears and is a strong vibe pointing to the San Francisco 49ers grabbing, an offensive tackle with their first pick. Most have Caleb Lomu from Utah, sliding right to them, named by Todd McShay, Dane Brugler, Benjamin Solak, and Peter Schreger. Chad Reuter and Mel Kuiper Jr. see Max Ehannocker from Arizona State as the guy instead, but the crowd leans Lomu. The Niners met with him this week, digging deep on his game, and they figure he'll still be on the board when their turn comes. Fans are sidelining this lockstep consensus though, remembering how mock drafters rarely nail it when they all agree. The Trent Williams hold out drama, makes tackle the hot take, but it feels too easy.

With so many options bubbling, this draft pick stays wide open. Keep watching
