The San Francisco 49ers are focusing on upgrading their defensive line for the 2025 offseason, considering both free agency and the draft. Analysts highlight a strong defensive line class in the upcoming draft, with ESPN's Matt Miller calling it the best he has seen at the Senior Bowl. The class features talented prospects such as Walter Nolen and Mike Green, with over 30% of NFL Media's Daniel Jeremiah's top-50 ranking comprising defensive linemen. This presents a critical opportunity for the 49ers to acquire young, affordable talent to support established players like Nick Bosa.
Fixing what's become a patchwork defensive line has to be near the top of the San Francisco 49ers' 2025 offseason to-do list.
This group is stacked and versatile, with quick, smaller edge players and big, strong defensive tackles such as Texas' Alfred Collins and Kentucky's Deone Walker.
ESPN's Matt Miller believes this is the best DL group he's ever seen at the pre-draft event.
If they can take advantage of what looks like a deep defensive line class to rebuild their defensive front around defensive end Nick Bosa.
