There are no guarantees in the NFL draft, but a brief look at the San Francisco 49ers history of picking No. 11 overall gives some reason for optimism about their 2025 first-round selection.
Assuming the 49ers don't make a trade out of the 11th spot it will mark the ninth time the 49ers have selected a player there. The first time came back in 1950, and they did it most recently in the 2010 draft. In their previous eight tries picking 11th the 49ers have taken a pair of Hall of Famers and a handful of quality, long-time starters.
