Despite the numerous mock drafts that have the 49ers selecting a player overlooking an obvious need (defensive line, offensive line, linebacker), the team has 11 picks in the 2025 draft. While the overall consensus is that the team should address Mooney Ward’s departure with a cornerback, one person has the 49ers addressing the defensive line in the second round.
The national media is either hearing things nobody else is by selecting Will Johnson from Michigan or Jahdae Barron from Texas in the first round; the team has a glaring need for a space-eating, dominant defensive tackle for their wide-nine scheme.
