It’s been an interesting offseason for the San Francisco 49ers. The franchise is entering a transition mode after parting ways with veterans such as Deebo Samuel and Javon Hargrave. Leonard Floyd, Aaron Banks, Talanoa Hufanga, and Dre Greenlaw are among the other big offseason departures. The 49ers haven’t been active spenders in free agency, leaving the 2025 NFL Draft as their most notable opportunity to improve their roster.
The 49ers are equipped with a league-leading 11 selections. They were awarded four compensatory selections. We've conducted a seven-round mock draft that supplements their offseason movements.
Round 1 (No. 11 overall): Armand Membou, OT, Missouri
Armand Membou would immediately step into the starting right tackle role. Colton McKivitz was not effective in that position last season. Membou was the most impressive athlete at his position at the NFL Combine, making him a natural fit for Kyle Shanahan's scheme.
Round 2 (No. 43 overall): Quincy Riley, CB, Louisville
The 49ers lost several secondary defenders in free agency, including Hufanga and cornerback Charvarius Ward. Renardo Green and free-agent signing Tre Brown are currently the top cornerbacks on the roster. A draft pick is needed here. Quincy Riley is productive and experienced. Riley is instinctive and physical with a ton of ball production on his resume.
Round 3 (No. 75 overall): Jack Sawyer, EDGE, Ohio State
Who will play opposite Nick Bosa at EDGE? Joey Bosa was rumored to join his brother but chose to sign with the Buffalo Bills instead. Yetur Gross-Matos and Drake Jackson aren't every-down pass rushers. Jack Sawyer would offer a pro-ready skill set. Sawyer, another Ohio State alum, is tough, smart, and reliable.
Round 3 (No. 100 overall): Deone Walker, DT, Kentucky
The 49ers end Deone Walker's draft weekend slide at No. 100 overall. Walker is a divisive prospect. He's occasionally dominant. He also occasionally disappears and plays with poor pad level. Interior defensive line is a need after releasing Hargrave. San Francisco's roster is overly reliant on Kevin Givens and Jordan Elliott as currently constructed.
Round 4 (No. 113 overall): Tate Ratledge, IOL, Georgia
Tate Ratledge is flexible enough to play all three interior offensive line positions. The 49ers lost Aaron Banks in free agency, and have momentarily downgraded at left guard by promoting in-house option Ben Bartch to the starting spot. Center Jake Brendel is a league-average starter at best, too. Ratledge would compete for immediate playing time.
Round 4 (No. 138 overall): Bilhal Kone, CB, Western Michigan
The depth at corner is concerning enough to warrant a double down. Western Michigan’s Blihal Kone was competitive at this year’s Senior Bowl. Kone has toughness and instincts, and he pairs size with athleticism at the position.
Round 5 (No. 147 overall): Nick Martin, LB, Oklahoma State
Greenlaw was dominant when healthy. He'll be missed in San Francisco. The defense now lacks straightforward choices to play alongside Fred Warner. Nick Martin is a sideline-to-sideline athlete. Now healthy after an injury derailed his 2024 campaign, Martin is enjoying a stellar pre-draft showcase.
Round 5 (No. 160 overall): Woody Marks, RB, USC
Death, taxes, and the 49ers drafting running backs. Shanahan prefers to keep a stable of backs and he'll need to replace Jordan Mason. Woody Marks is a versatile prospect who would support Christian McCaffrey and Isaac Guerendo in the backfield. Marks is densely built with straight-line speed.
Round 7 (No. 227 overall): CJ Dippre, TE, Alabama
CJ Dippre is a well-developed in-line blocker. He'd complete the tight end room next to George Kittle and Luke Farrell. Dippre has a finisher's mentality when tasked with blocking in the run game at the line of scrimmage.
Round 7 (No. 249 overall): Que Robinson, EDGE, Alabama
The 49ers need to draft multiple pass rushers. Alabama's Que Robinson had four sacks in nine appearances this past season. Robinson would have been more productive had he stayed healthy for the complete campaign. The Crimson Tide standout is being underrated as a result, but he's a fluid and natural athlete.
Round 7 (No. 252 overall): Muftah Ageli, DT, Northwestern Oklahoma State
Here's a deep cut for you. The Canadian Muftah Ageli was invited to Eastern Michigan's Pro Day, and he also received an invite to participate in the Detroit Lions' local showcase day. Ageli recorded 34 tackles and four tackles for loss at Northwestern Oklahoma State this season.
