Despite consensus boards suggesting that the Ole Miss product would go somewhere closer to pick 100, the San Francisco 49ers grabbed him with the first selection in the second round (33rd overall). Despite appearing in only two preseason games, Stribling was targeted 13 times and caught 11 passes for 109 yards. He earned an elite and rookie class leading Pro Football Focus (PFF) offensive grade of 90.0.

Positive signalBreakout

Stribling's elite PFF grade and preseason production justify 49ers' early draft pick.

49ers drafted Ole Miss receiver 33rd overall (second round) despite consensus boards projecting him closer to pick 100; Stribling fits the Shanahan/McVay offensive tree scheme that teams covet. In two preseason games, he was targeted 13 times, caught 11 passes for 109 yards, and earned an elite 90.0 PFF offensive grade—the highest in the rookie class. The source suggests if Stribling becomes a star, it will be bad news for the Rams, who may regret not pursuing him.
