The 2025 NFL Draft is quickly approaching, and the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis marks a key milestone in the evaluation process. This crucial multi-day event will give teams a final look at top prospects as they refine their draft boards ahead of April.
As one of the most anticipated weeks of the draft cycle approaches, here's a look at who analysts are projecting the San Francisco 49ers to select at No. 11.
NFL: Dan Parr
- Josh Simmons - OT, Ohio State
"WithTrent WilliamsandColton McKivitzunder contract for 2025, the 49ers are an ideal landing spot for Simmons. He can ease his way back from the knee injury that ended his 2024 season in October and learn from Williams -- one of the greats at the position -- before eventually taking the baton."
NFL: Daniel Jeremiah
- Will Johnson - CB, Michigan
"Johnson is a scheme fit, and his size will play well in a division featuring wide receivers built like power forwards."
NFL: Gennaro Filice
- Armand Membou - OT, Missouri
"With LGAaron Bankshitting free agency, RTColton McKivitzentering a contract year and LTTrent Williamsapproaching his 37th birthday, San Francisco has to reinvest in the offensive line. Membou thrived in the SEC as a right tackle -- he didn't allow a single sack in 2024, per Pro Football Focus, yielding a grand total of nine pressures in 12 games -- but he also carries length questions that could prompt a move inside. No matter: That'd give the 49ers a stellar guard combo, with this mauler from Missouri joining last year's third-round steal out of Kansas,Dominick Puni."
Pro Football Focus: Dalton Wasserman
- Kelvin Banks Jr. - T, Texas
"Banks' pass-protection skills and outside-zone run-blocking prowess make him an excellent fit in San Francisco, a team that continues to search for answers alongsideTrent Williams. If Banks can play tackle despite concerns about his arm length, he could be a natural replacement for Williams down the line."
The 33rd Team: Kyle Crabbs
- Kenneth Grant - DL, Michigan
"San Francisco's identity on defense has long been built with a formidable defensive line... drafting Kenneth Grant to serve as the new anchor in the middle makes sense. He's got freakish athleticism and the ability to be a true, three-down terror."
CBS Sports: Garrett Podell
- Will Johnson - CB, Michigan
"Top cornerbackCharvarius Wardis set to become an unrestricted free agent, and the 49ers need a legit CB1 with all the receiver talent out in the NFC West: Puka Nacua, Marvin Harrison Jr., DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba come to mind. Will Johnson, whose 31.0 passer rating when targeted was the second best in college football since 2022 (minimum 100 targets), fill a key need."
