It’s unlikely the 49ers will use all 11 of their picks in the 2025 NFL Draft. Given the log jam of talent vying for a spot on the 53-man roster, the 49ers are in a prime position to move up in the draft order for a player high on their board. The compensatory pick formula following the promotion of minority coaches or front office members, the team has stockpiled third-round picks during the John Lynch/Kyle Shanahan era.
Sitting at pick 11 puts the 49ers in a spot to play the board as it falls, but also the opportunity to be aggressive for a player the organization covets.
