San Francisco 49ers 7-Round NFL Mock Draft: Brock Purdy is gifted speed at wide receiver, and an early focus on defense early

The San Francisco 49ers better be careful, or their winning window could close very quickly. It’s possible it already has due to a couple of losses such as Deebo Samuel, and Dre Greenlaw, injury, and an aging roster. This could be the last season before a bit of a rebuild takes place.

That makes the 2025 NFL Draft very important for San Francisco. They must be able to keep their defense quality, and add some weapons around Brock Purdy. They do just that in this recent 7-round mock draft.

Round 1, Pick 11: Jalon Walker, EDGE Georgia

If Walker hits his ceiling, it’ll probably be in more of a pass rush role. Walker has the bend, and explosiveness to get to the quarterback. A creative defensive coordinator could have a field day with Walker.

Round 2, Pick 43: Tyleik Williams, DT Ohio State

Good luck trying to move Williams at the point of attack. There is no better run defender in the 2025 class. The floor for Williams is very, very high.

Round 3, Pick 75: Isaiah Bond, WR Texas

The ending to the season wasn’t ideal for Bond, but the talent is apparent. He is incredibly fast, quick, and explosive. Bond should, at worst, be able to be a designated deep threat for the 49ers.

Round 3, Pick 100: Charles Grant, OG William & Mary

Grant is one of the more athletic offensive lineman in the class. Now at around 311 pounds, Grant now has the size to potentially play inside. He also has the length and movement skills to remain at tackle.

Round 4, Pick 113: Chase Lundt, OT UConn

Due to an injury that didn’t allow Lundt to participate at the 2025 Reese’s Senior Bowl or NFL Scouting Combine, Lundt has largely gone under the radar. With his frame and movement skills, there is a lot of developmental upside here. Lundt could start in the future.

Round 4, Pick 138: Cobee Bryant, CB Kansas

Bryant is a tenacious defender that should be able to play either on the outside, or in the slot on the next level. Don’t be fooled about the size. Bryant is an excellent football player.

Round 5, Pick 147: Damien Martinez, RB Miami

This selection was all about value. Martinez is one of the better pure runners in the class, but has gone very underappreciated. It’s a deep running back class but the 49ers find a bruising element to a running back room very late.

Round 5, Pick 160: Upton Stout, CB Western Kentucky

Small and tenacious, Stout looks like he can start in the nickel eventually. While he doesn’t bring anything dynamic physically to the table, he is quick, tenacious, and dependable. There is a lot to like about Stout.

Round 7, Pick 227: Isaac TeSlaa, WR Arkansas

Long, fast, and physical, TeSlaa has the baseline to be a tremendous special teamer very early on in his career. He also has some receiving upside to develop in the room as well. There is an easy projection as a deep threat long term.

Round 7, Pick 249: Sebastian Castro, S Iowa

After playing mostly nickel at Iowa, Castro looks destined to move full time to safety on the NFL level. Castro is a physical player who is solid enough of an athlete to matter. He has the feel of someone who will stick.

Round 7, Pick 252: Max Brosmer, QB Minnesota

Brosmer has the feel of a long time backup in the NFL. He is one of the quickest processors in the class, and is generally very accurate. While he won’t wow you physically, Brosmer does more than enough to create a solid floor.
