The San Francisco 49ers entered the 2025 NFL Draft with more holes up and down their roster than we have typically seen in recent memory. That’s no surprise, factoring in the roster turnover and a team coming off a 6-win season.
We had a good idea that the Niners would draft multiple defensive linemen, given the structure of the roster, and they did not disappoint after using three picks in the first four rounds to bolster the trenches. But Upton Stout and Nick Martin will have plenty of opportunities to earn playing time early on.
