In his first mock draft for 2025, Mel Kiper Jr. projects that the San Francisco 49ers will select Texas offensive tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. at No. 11. Banks, a standout player who received both the Lombardi Award and Outland Trophy, started 42 games at Texas and allowed only three sacks. Kiper highlights Banks' potential as a long-term replacement for aging left tackle Trent Williams, who will be 37 next season. While Banks’ combine measurements may raise questions, he possesses the necessary attributes to fortify the 49ers' offensive line immediately and in the future.
Kiper's projection for the 49ers to draft offensive tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. suggests a strategic move towards securing their future in the offensive line.
With 42 games of experience and only three sacks allowed, Banks is an impressive prospect, capable of becoming a cornerstone for the 49ers' offensive line.
