There is no real consensus on where to draft Evans in 2026 -- the only agreement is that you should definitely not draft him before Round 5. Evans, who will turn 33 before the season starts, has already suffered and returned from a calf injury in the early days of 49ers training camp. It's a reminder of the 12 games he's missed over the last two seasons due to hamstring and collarbone issues. His fit in this offense could be as good as it was for Davante Adams with the Rams last season, but over the last three years this offense has only thrown 51% of its passes to wide receivers, and the offense is fairly stocked with Deebo Samuel back, rookie De'Zhaun Stribling making preseason plays and eventually George Kittle and Christian Kirk coming back to the field. Evans also just averaged a career-low 46 yards per game and 5.9 yards per target. He is best viewed as a boom-or-bust WR3 who could be much better than that if he scores double-digit touchdowns -- and stays on the field.
