San Francisco 49ers 7-Round Mock Draft: Nick Bosa finds a partner in crime, and a line of scrimmage overhaul

It has been an interesting offseason for the San Francisco 49ers, who said goodbye to several notable players, including Deebo Samuel, Dre Greenlaw, and Aaron Banks. Those defections, plus injury concerns, have left this roster with a ton of questions.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers are technically still in a winning window, so they will want to find some short-term answers. The 2025 NFL Draft class provides some potential for the team. They will have to get it correct, and find some immediate answers at key positions.
Round 1, Pick 11: Shemar Stewart, EDGE Texas A&M
Nick Bosa has been tremendous for the 49ers, but just imagine him with another talented pass rusher on the other side. Stewart is still raw but the tools are bananas. Him learning from Bosa is a dream scenario, and can hopefully unlock his upside.
Round 2, Pick 43: Darius Alexander, DT Toledo
The 49ers have gone from dominant inside to lackluster very quickly. Alexander is one of the biggest risers in the interior class overall. He is a twitchy interior rusher with legitimate penetration upside.
Round 3, Pick 75: Jalen Royals, WR Utah State
With Deebo Samuel gone from the team this offseason, San Francisco needs to find a slot option with upside. Royals is a densely built wideout who can line up from multiple spots. He also brings YAC talent to the table.
Round 3, Pick 100: Anthony Belton, OT NC State
Belton is a massive offensive tackle who has loads of potential. He possesses all of the tools to stick at offensive tackle, and start eventually. There is also a world where Belton moves inside with his size and raw power.
Round 4, Pick 113: Miles Frazier, IOL LSU
Frazier is one of the biggest risers in the 2025 interior offensive line class. He is a very powerful offensive guard that can get you out of a game at offensive tackle. That provides some positional flexibility.
Round 4, Pick 138: Devin Neal, RB Kansas
You can always bet on the 49ers dipping into the running back market, especially with Christian McCaffrey dealing with constant injury. Neal has become very underrated in this class, but possesses great footwork and feel for space.
Round 5, Pick 147: Jordan Hancock, CB Ohio State
Although Hancock played mostly in the slot the last two years for the Buckeyes, there is an argument he might be best outside. While the 49ers figure out the best fit for him, Hancock should be a dynamite special teamer with his combination of speed, explosiveness, and physicality.
Round 5, Pick 160: Mitchell Evans, TE Notre Dame
Evans is a massive tight end with impressive ball skills. The durability is a major concern, but Evans is a promising part of a tight end room if healthy. There isn’t anything flashy about Evans, but there is a lot to like.
Round 7, Pick 227: Bilhal Kone, CB Western Michigan
Kone is a well-built cornerback with really impressive movement skills. He still needs to develop from a technical perspective, but there is a lot of developmental upside. At this point, developmental tools are all you can ask for.
Round 7, Pick 249: Upton Stout, CB Western Kentucky
From a fit perspective, Stout projects best in the slot. He is a very smooth mover with impressive instincts. That helps to make up for his lack of size.
Round 7, Pick 252: Collin Oliver, LB Oklahoma State
Oliver spent time at both defensive end and linebacker for the Oklahoma State program. He has tweener traits and some developmental questions to answer, but is worth a swing this late. There are building blocks to work with here.
