The 2025 NFL Draft holds significant importance for the San Francisco 49ers. After a less-than-stellar 2024 season, they have the 11th pick. There are various scenarios and questions. Could top prospects fall to them? Would they trade up or down? What are the most realistic options for this pick? The team's history under Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch offers some clues, but uncertainties remain. Success in this draft is crucial for their future success.

For example, on the defensive line, players like Walter Nolen, Mykel Williams, and Shemar Stewart are of interest. But the draft is full of unknowns, and the 49ers need to make smart choices to get back to contention.

The team's decisions at this draft will shape their future and determine if they can avoid another 6-11 season.
