San Francisco 49ers Upcoming 2025 Draft Picks (11)
2025
Pick 11. (R:1 P:11) -
Mykel Williams, DE, Georgia
Grade: B-
I thought there was a chance Mykel Williams would slip because he was deemed as safe, but not as someone who had a lot of upside. This pick makes sense from a needs persepctive, but it would make so much more sense if the 49ers didn’t have Jalon Walker or Tyler Warren available.

2025
Pick 43. (R:2 P:11) -
Alfred Collins, DE/DT, Texas
Grade: B+
It comes as no surprise that the 49ers have used their first two picks on their defensive line. They got their pass rusher with their first pick, and now they have their run stuffer. Alfred Collins fits the range in the middle of the second round and potentially fills a big need.

2025
Pick 75. (R:3 P:11) - Nick Martin, LB, Oklahoma State
Grade: C-
Nick Martin was expected to be a value pick later in the draft because of his injury history. He’s a tackling machine when healthy, but the 49ers reached for him, as they could have taken him in the fifth round. They’re filling a need potentially, but there were better value options.

2025
Pick 100. (R:3 P:36) - Upton Stout, CB, Western Kentucky
Grade: C-
Upton Stout is a small cornerback who projects as a slot cornerback in the NFL. He’s a gritty player, but I had him projected late in the draft, and I didn’t hear of anyone slotting him in the third round. The 49ers needed help for their secondary, but this is a reach.

Pick 113. (R:4 P:11) - C.J. West, DT, Indiana
Grade: B+
The 49ers need as many defensive linemen as possible, and they got a solid one. C.J. West is a very strong defensive lineman who will be able to stop the run. I thought he would be chosen in this range.

Pick 138. (R:4 P:36) - Jordan Watkins, WR, Mississippi
Grade: MILLEN
This is the second player drafted I didn’t have in my mock draft. In fact, I didn’t have him in consideration. This is a colossal reach. San Francisco could have made this pick in Round 6 or 7.

2025
Pick 147. (R:5 P:9) - Jordan James, RB, Oregon
Grade: B+
Surprise, surprise, the 49ers drafted a running back. Kyle Shanahan loves adding to the position, and he was able to snag a solid runner who was projected by some to be a fourth-round prospect. I had him a bit later, but this is still a solid pick, especially given Christian McCaffrey's durability issues.

2025
Pick 160. (R:5 P:22) - Marcus Sigle, S, Kansas State
Grade: B+
The 49ers lost Talanoa Hufanga, so safety was an area they needed to address. Marques Sigle has high upside as the fastest player at the position at the combine. He makes sense in this range, so I like this pick.

2025
Pick 227. (R:7 P:11) - Kurtis Rourke, QB, Indiana
Grade: B-
Kurtis Rourke was a borderline draftable prospect. He has plus size, but doesn't have an NFL skill set. It's the seventh round, however, so I can't grade anything too poorly.

Pick 249. (R:7 P:33) - Connor Colby, G, Indiana
Grade: B
Connor Colby makes sense in this range. He has plenty of experience and should be able to compete for a backup job for the 49ers, who have offensive line issues.

Pick 252. (R:7 P:36) - Junior Bergen, WR, Montana

Junior Bergen was not expected to be drafted, but we have six picks remaining. I would have wanted to see the 49ers address something other than receiver here, but it's not a big deal.

Walt's Mock Selections as of 4/25/2025 -View Current Mock Draft
Round: 1
San Francisco 49ers: Kelvin Banks, OT/G, Texas
The 49ers desperately need in the trenches, whether it's on the offensive or defensive line. John Lynch, of course, is no stranger to using first-round draft capital on the defensive front, but he needs to improve his blocking. The 49ers need a guard for the present and a successor for Trent Williams in the future. Kelvin Banks is a terrific pass protector. He can play four positions on the offensive line. *** OTHER 2025 NFL DRAFT POSSIBILITIES: *** 1. Walter Nolen, DT - There's some buzz about Walter Nolen going to the 49ers, which I would have if Kelvin Banks weren't available. 2. Mykel Williams, DE - The 49ers love addressing the defensive line, and they also have to find a new edge rusher.
Round: 2
San Francisco 49ers: J.T. Tuimoloau, DE, Ohio State
The 49ers must find an edge rusher in the first few rounds, as they need help on the other side of Nick Bosa. J.T. Tuimoloau has flashed some great pass-rushing potential, but must be more consistent. Pick change; previously Omar Norman-Lott, DT
Round: 3
San Francisco 49ers: Jamaree Caldwell, DT, Oregon
The 49ers lost Javon Hargrave, and they already needed help at defensive tackle. Jamaree Caldwell is a monstrous run stuffer. Pick change; previously Drew Kendall, C
Round: 3
San Francisco 49ers: Tommi Hill, CB, Nebraska
Cornerback is one of many needs the 49ers have on the defensive side of the ball. Tommi Hill has plus size, instincts, and ball skills. Pick change; previously Demetrius Knight, LB
Round: 4
San Francisco 49ers: Logan Brown, OT, Kansas
The 49ers need to find a new potential successor for Trent Williams after losing Jaylon Moore. Logan Brown had the second-best shuttle time for any offensive lineman at the combine. Pick change; previously Josaiah Stewart, DE/OLB
Round: 4
San Francisco 49ers: Woody Marks, RB, USC
Kyle Shanahan loves drafting running backs in the middle rounds. Woody Marks is a strongly built runner who excels as a receiver out of the backfield. Pick change; previously Bhayshul Tuten, RB Go to 2025 NFL Mock Draft by Charlie Campbell Go to 2026 NFL Mock Draft by Walter Cherepinsky
Round: 5
San Francisco 49ers: Andres Borregales, K, Miami
The 49ers have been scouting kickers aggressively during the lead-up to the 2025 NFL Draft. Andres Borregales was 18-of-19 last year, including 7-of-8 from 40-plus.
Round: 5
San Francisco 49ers: Rylie Mills, DT, Notre Dame
The 49ers love to draft defensive linemen, so I expect them to do that on multiple occasions this weekend.
Round: 7
San Francisco 49ers: Jackson Hawes, TE, Georgia Tech
With George Kittle in his 30s, the 49ers may want a tight end for the future. Jackson Hawes is a quality blocking tight end.
Round: 7
San Francisco 49ers: Chris Paul Jr., LB, Ole Miss
The 49ers lost Dre Greenlaw, so they may want to bring in a couple of new linebackers to find a replacement.
Round: 7
San Francisco 49ers: Konata Mumpfield, WR, Pittsburgh
With Deebo Samuel gone and Brandon Aiyuk coming off injury, the 49ers will need to obtain a receiver at some point.

2024 NFL Draft Selections and Grades
2024
Pick 31. (R:1 P:31) -
Ricky Pearsall, WR, Florida
C I guess Brandon Aiyuk is on the move. The 49ers drafting a receiver is not a surprise, but Ricky Pearsall in the first round is something I haven't seen. I don't hate this value, but I think it's a bit too early for Pearsall. I wish San Francisco would have traded down instead.

Pick 64. (R:2 P:32) - Renardo Green, CB, Florida State
C This is a bit too early for Renardo Green, whom we had tabbed as a fringe second-day prospect. I don't hate the selection because Green potentially fills a big need at cornerback, but Green didn't produce very much at Florida State.

2024
Pick 86. (R:3 P:22) - Dominick Puni, OT, Kansas
B+ The 49ers have Trent Williams, but the rest of the offensive line is underwhelming. They needed a right tackle to replace Mike McGlinchey and a future blind-side protector when Williams leaves. Dominick Puni can play both tackle spots and also guard, so the 49ers can use him everywhere.

2024
Pick 124. (R:4 P:24) - Malik Mustapha, S, Wake Forest
C- This is an underwhelming pick by the 49ers, as Malik Mustapha projects as a career backup and a potential core special-teamer. The 49ers could have made this or a similar pick two rounds later.

2024
Pick 129. (R:4 P:29) - Isaac Guerendo, RB, Louisville
C+ Wow, what a total shocker that Kyle Shanahan used a mid-round pick on a running back! I don't think the 49ers needed to trade up for Isaac Guerendo, but they're getting an under-the-radar prospect. Guerendo is a big back who tested much faster than some people thought. We had him around this fourth-round range.

Pick 135. (R:4 P:35) - Jacob Cowing, WR, Arizona
B+ A second receiver to the 49ers makes sense, given some impending trades at the position. Jacob Cowing is a very fast receiver with upside who makes sense here at the end of the fourth round.

2024 San Francisco 49ers - Prospect:TBD
2024
Pick 211. (R:6 P:35) - Kamal Hadden, CB, Tennessee
B Kamal Hadden bounced around schools, but settled in at Tennessee. He played well last year and was seen as a mid-Day 3 prospect, so this is a logical choice for the Chiefs to make, especially given how many lethal passing offenses exist in the AFC.

2024
Pick 215. (R:6 P:39) - Jarrett Kingston, G, USC
B Jarrett Kingston needs to get stronger for the NFL. However, he has nice position versatility to play tackle and guard if he does bulk up a bit. Adding more blocking makes sense for the 49ers, and Kingston was expected to be drafted around this area.

2024
Pick 251. (R:7 P:31) - Tatum Bethune, LB, Florida State
B- I've never seen anyone mention Tatum Bethune as a draftable prospect, but we're in the final 10 picks here, so I don't blame the 49ers for getting ahead of everyone for the UDFA surge.

2023
Pick 99. (R:3 P:36) - Jake Moody, K, Michigan
D Kickers are not people, Rich Eisen. They are abominations. And they certainly should not be chosen in the third round. Fifth round, OK. Third round, no. The 49ers needed a real player and person here.

2023
Pick 101. (R:3 P:38) - Cameron Latu, TE, Alabama
B- The 49ers wanted a second tight end to go along with George Kittle, so here we go. Cameron Latu has plus athleticism and size, but has a checkered injury history. He makes sense at the end of the third round in this loaded tight end class.

Pick 102. (R:3 P:39) -
Mekhi Blackmon, CB, USC
B+ The Vikings really needed a cornerback, and Mekhi Blackmon is very talented. He's small, but very speedy. He had a great Senior Bowl to push himself up draft boards. I like him at the end of the third round.

Pick 155. (R:5 P:20) - Darrell Luter Jr., CB, South Alabama
B The 49ers needed cornerback depth, and Darrell Luter is someone I had slotted 12 picks later than this. Luter was excellent at South Alabama, but we'll have to see how he performs with far better athletes.

Pick 164. (R:5 P:29) -
Jaren Hall, QB, BYU
B+ Kirk Cousins is entering the final year of his contract, so the Vikings had to find a quarterback to groom as a potential successor. We'll have to see if Hall can develop, but he at least has plus mobility. His arm is fine as well.

2023
Pick 173. (R:5 P:38) - Robert Beal, DE, Georgia
B- Robert Beal surprised a bit in his workouts, as there seemed to be limited upside with him. Perhaps he'll surprise everyone in the NFL. I didn't have him drafted, but this pick makes sense. The 49ers needed to add depth to their defensive front after losing some players in free agency.

2023
Pick 216. (R:6 P:39) - Dee Winters, LB, TCU
B+ Dee Winters is a solid run defender who can stand to improve in coverage. I had Winters going in the fifth round, so this is decent value. Linebacker depth was a need, so I think this is a quality selection.

Pick 255. (R:7 P:38) - Jalen Graham, OLB, Purdue
B- Jalen Graham is a small linebacker who struggles to tackle. He can cover well, but he's going to be abused in run support. He may have to stick to special teams.

2022 NFL Draft Selections and Grades
2022
Pick 61. (R:2 P:29) -
Drake Jackson, DE, USC
B+ Grade
It's not a surprise that the 49ers are addressing their pass rush, given how much Dee Ford has fallen off in recent years. Jackson is a solid prospect and I mocked him to the 49ers in my re-draft at this spot, so I like this selection.

2022
Pick 93. (R:3 P:29) - Tyrion Davis-Price, RB, LSU
D Grade
The 49ers have done some sketchy things with running backs during the John Lynch-Kyle Shanahan era, and this is another instance of that. The 49ers may think that Tyrion Davis-Price will provide a hand in the backfield, but he'll just be dwarfed by the competition. He's a tough runner, but I thought he belonged in the sixth or seventh season, I mean round.

Pick 105. (R:3 P:41) - Danny Gray, WR, SMU
B- Grade
Danny Gray is a threat after the catch, so... Deebo Samuel insurance? It sure seems that way. I think this is a tad early for Gray, but it's not an egregious reach by any means. This is a fine selection to close out Day 2.

Pick 134. (R:4 P:29) - Spencer Burford, OT, Texas-San Antonio
B+ Grade
It makes sense for the 49ers to find some tackle insurance because Trent Williams is in his mid-30s and could regress at any time. Burford provides nice value - I had him earlier in this round - and he could eventually be a starter for San Francisco.

Another prospect who wasn't on my board at all. Samuel Womack was a productive cornerback at Toledo, but I don't think he projects well into the NFL. Still, he could potentially fill a big need at corner for the 49ers.

Another tackle pick may seem redundant, but the 49ers are making a great value choice because I thought Nick Zakelj could have easily been chosen in the fourth round. It's nice that San Francisco shored up its offensive line depth.

A- Grade
Wow, this is quite the fall for Tariq Castro-Fields, who used to appear in the second round of my mocks. Castro-Fields, however, had a horrible 2021 campaign. Perhaps he's been exposed, but he could rebound and perform like he did prior to 2021. I like this gamble.

Pick 222. (R:7 P:1) - Montaric Brown, CB, Arkansas
B Grade
Montaric Brown was always on the cusp of making the final round of my 2022 NFL Mock Draft, but never got in, unfortunately. The good news for him is that he was drafted. He was productive at Arkansas, so perhaps he can give the Jaguars some needed depth at corner.

2022
Pick 262. (R:7 P:41) - Brock Purdy, QB, Iowa State
B Grade
Brock Purdy has no chance of becoming a starting quarterback in the NFL, but he might be a quality backup. He can compete with Nate Sudfeld behind Trey Lance once Jimmy Garoppolo is traded. I would have preferred Carson Strong though.

2021 NFL Draft Selections and Grades
2021
Pick 3. (R:1 P:3) -
Trey Lance, QB, North Dakota State
A- Grade
I've been in contact with several 49er fans who have been incredibly fearful of their team selecting Mac Jones. They can all now be at ease, as their team made the correct decision. Trey Lance is a much better prospect than Jones. Lance may not be as accurate as Jones in the short passing game, but he has much better arm strength, and he's an incredible athlete. He also possesses high intelligence and character traits. The one concern with Lance is that he's raw, especially after missing last season, but Charlie Campbell was told that Lance resembles Josh Allen. Give him two or three years, and he'll likely be a superstar.

Pick 43. (R:2 P:11) -
Trevon Moehrig, S, TCU
A+ Grade
Everyone whined about the Raiders apparently reaching for Alex Leatherwood on Thursday even though it was really fine value. I imagine that this selection will be viewed more favorably because Trevon Moehrig was frequently mocked in the first round as the only safety in the opening frame. Moehrig is a safe prospect who figures to fill a huge need in the Raiders' dreadful secondary.

Bobby Brown has some amazing athleticism, so the Rams are swinging for the fences with this pick. It would make sense for them to address defensive tackle after losing Michael Brockers. I had Brown a bit later than this, but there's no denying Brown's potential.

Pick 155. (R:5 P:11) - Jaylon Moore, OT, Western Michigan
B Grade
Trent Williams was re-signed, but his health is unreliable. The 49ers needed to find an insurance policy for Williams, and this is a fine one. I had Jaylon Moore in the fifth or sixth rounds of my updates, so the range makes sense for Moore.

Pick 172. (R:5 P:28) - Deommodore Lenoir, CB, Oregon
B Grade
This is the 49ers' second cornerback, which is a logical pick because of the players they lost at the position this offseason. I've had Deommodore Leonoir around this range in my mock draft, so this is a fine selection.

Pick 180. (R:5 P:36) -
Talanoa Hufanga, S, USC
B+ Grade
Russell Wilson, Kyler Murray, Matthew Stafford... the 49ers obviously needed to address the secondary. Talanoa Hufanga was someone I mocked in the fourth round, so I'm definitely a fan of this value.

Pick 194. (R:6 P:10) - Elijah Mitchell, RB, La.-Lafayette
B Grade
Elijah Mitchell is a pure kick returner who won't do much else. There's not much to analyze here beyond the 49ers getting a dynamic threat on special teams. I didn't have Mitchell drafted, but only because I didn't know where to slot him.
