The 2025 NFL Draft order has undergone some changes after a busy few days of games during the holiday week.
While the 49ers remain in the No. 11 overall spot as they await a “Monday Night Football” matchup with the Detroit Lions, another NFC-West clash reshuffled the draft order.
The Arizona Cardinals 13-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday dropped Arizona from the No. 15 overall pick to the No. 12 spot, just one behind San Francisco.
The highest pick the 49ers potentially could land in the 2025 draft would be No. 10 overall, which currently is held by the 5-10 New Orleans Saints.
San Francisco would need New Orleans to win both of its two remaining games while losing out themselves if the 49ers are to leapfrog the Saints for a top-10 pick. If both teams finish with the same record, the tiebreaker goes to New Orleans for having a weaker strenght of schedule (.510) than San Francisco (.564).
San Francisco last held the No. 11 overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, selecting offensive tackle Anthony Davis out of Rutgers. Davis would go on to start 79 games for the 49ers, including eight playoff appearances, across six seasons.
During coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch’s tenures with the 49ers, San Francisco has made a top-20 selection five times. Here is who the 49ers have taken with those picks.
