How much should ‘character concerns’ play into the 49ers draft philosophy?
The San Francisco 49ers have a number of questions entering the 2025 NFL Draft, but what they do with the No. 11 pick tops the list.
San Francisco hasn’t taken a player this high in the draft since boldy moving up for, and subsequently missing on, quarterback Trey Lance with the No. 3 pick.
And with concerns about the team’s spending coming out in recent weeks, adding talent in the draft is that much more important for the 49ers this offseason.
