The San Francisco 49ers are not the giant who once were, at least not heading to the NFL 2025 draft.
His low season has been ugly, headed by the exits of known names: Debo Samuel, Charvarius Ward, Talanoa Hufanga, Dre Greenlaw, Javon Hargrave and Leonard Floyd, among others. In total, the niners moved from 17 players who door to the low season. And it is not a real surprise. His list was aged, Field Marshal Brock Purdy is online for a great contract and his 2024 season was a great disappointment. It was time.
But that will exert a lot of pressure on the success of this kind of draft. We are not used to seeing the 49ers draft for the need, but that is what they will do this year. Let’s take a look at your seven round drill.
Ronda 1, No. 11 in general: Will JohnsonCB, Michigan
If you are still on the board, Johnson is very good for niners. It is a great corner of 6 feet 2 and 195 pounds, and that height creates similarities with Ward, who went to the Colts this low season. (You will notice that it is a trend in this simulated draft: players who are replaced by rookies who share similar athletic profiles). Johnson, who has a bone compared to the bowling player Jaycee Horn, would be the secondary, where the secondary, where the secondary. Johnson deals with the grass in his last university season, but he still resembles one of the 10 best prospects in this draft.
Niners could try to trade with Missouri’s right Tackle, Armand Membou. And perhaps they would not need to exchange: in their drill of Draft 2.0, Nick Wright makes Membo launch San Francisco at number 11. It would be an incredible adjustment in Kyle Shanahan’s offensive. It is the best blocking Tackle in the draft, and has athletics to improve the protection of the San Francisco pass.

Trade! Ronda 1, No. 30 in general: Zabel GrayOl, North Dakota state
Buffalo bills Obtain: 43 (second round), 113 (fourth round), 160 (fifth round)
49ers get: 30
If the niners get lost membo, they should not in Zabel. It is not totally clear where it will contribute to the NFL. He played four of the five offensive line positions at the University. His arms measured 32 inches, just below the subjective threshold that joins because in a 33 -inch Tackle. So San Francisco could experiment with the development of Tackle to replace Trent Williams when he retires. But most likely they will begin on guard, where he will be an asset and a safe fire in Shanahan’s offensive.
Ronda 3, No. 75 in general: Oluwafemi Oladejoedge, UCLA
The best edge players in this class are lighter than the type of player who likes 49ers. But not Oladejo. It is a large guy: 6 feet 3 and 260 pounds. The Bruins transferred him from an internal supporter to Edge and that explains his lack of production of captures, with only 4.5 in 2024. But they are not mistaken: the movement has helped create interest in the rise of Oladejo. Then you can develop (and maybe one day replace) Nick Bosa or Yetur Gross-Matos.
Ronda 3, No. 100 in general: Kyle WilliamsWr, Washington state
Williams would be a bit of blow here. He is an excellent player who would satisfy a quiet need in San Francisco. The 49ers exchanged Samuel, and Brandon Aiyuk is recovering from a torn acl and MCl. There is hope that Ricky Pearsall, Jauan Jennings and Demarcus Robinson can help at the beginning of 2025, but there is still a lot of uncertainty from top to bottom in the depth table of the receiver.
The 5 -foot 11 -inch Williams and 190 pounds is much narrower than Samuel, but it is equally special with the ball in his hands. Williams needs to work on his route running and capturing consistency, but the 49ers would embrace their electricity.
Ronda 4, No. 138 in general: RJ MickensSecurity, Clemson
Mickens did not always play as fast as the 40 -yard board (4.49 seconds) ran, so the first task of the 49ers would be to connect its maximum speed with its game speed. That could be a process of processing, or a trusted problem. But the good news is that Mickens does not lack consistency. He played 60 games at the university and was an impressive safety network in the game of passes and running for the tigers. He could be an immediate rotation player for the 49ers, who, just after signing multiple options of depth in security, could find titians who want more help.
Ronda 5, No. 147 in general (from Washington to New Orleans): Logan BrownOT, Kansas
With Brown, the 49ers would get a development Tackle. He is an elite athlete who needs to realize his potential. Maybe Brown and Zabel end up in the subjects of the offensive line in the coming years. Maybe both are on the left side. Anyway, the 49ers would be happy to get two OL holders in this draft.
Ronda 7, No. 227 in general: Ty RobinsonDt, Nebraska
The 49ers like their defensive tacoledas in at least 300 pounds, so Robinson is a bit tweener with 288 pounds and 6 feet and 5. But there are worst problems to have when Robinson’s caliber and consistency player is being blocked. When you are looking at the boys in Round 7, you are looking for players who can simply make the list, often only in special teams. But there is a real photo that Robinson would play with sufficient consistency and engine to break the rotation, which lacks quality (and depth), immediately.
Ronda 7, No. 249 in general: Zah FrazierCB, UTSA
Frazier is a strange athlete who can make the team for low rooms. And then it will be a matter of how quickly he can become a defensive player.
Ronda 7, No. 252 in general: Cam MillerQB, North Dakota state
That’s right, friends: a QB of the North Dakota state.
Let’s not keep the 49ers mandate of Trey Lance against Miller.
All probability, Miller would end up in the team’s practice team where 49ers could develop it. It is a bit a clone of Purdy: Miller is narrower (6 feet, 215 pounds) and lacks the strength of the arm, but it is a sufficient pocket pin whose strength is precision. In addition, he won 14 games last year while scored 45 TouchDowns (33 Fit, 12 running). Why not, right?
