Where 49ers would pick in 2025 NFL Draft after brutal loss to Rams originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
With the 49ers’ 2024 playoff hopes all but faded, the focus now turns toward San Francisco’s 2025 NFL Draft positioning.
San Francisco’s 12-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night at Levi’s Stadium moved the 49ers to the No. 13 overall pick in the 2025 draft.
The defeat moved San Francisco up six spots from the No. 19 overall slot it held after a convincing win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
Despite the win, Los Angeles remained in the same spot (No. 18 overall) as when they entered Thursday’s matchup against the 49ers.
San Francisco hasn’t selected No. 13 overall since taking running back Earl Cooper out of Rice University in the 1980 NFL Draft.
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.
