What should be the expectations for the 49ers rookies in 2025?

The San Francisco 49ers tied the league-high with 11 picks in the 2025 NFL Draft, electing to stick-and-pick at every one of their selections, rather than make a single trade.

San Francisco went defense-heavy to start the draft, taking five straight defensive players before their first offensive selection, as they addressed a number of needs over the three-day period.

It was a quiet offseason for the 49ers, who didn’t make any meaningful free agent signings after letting several key players walk, so the draft was crucial to shoring up holes.

So, let’s evaluate every selection and see what the expectations should be for each rookie in 2025.
