The San Francisco 49ers are addressing significant roster needs ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft, particularly on the defensive line. After spending extensively in 2024 to revamp the line with several high-profile signings, the team has shifted focus due to the release of key players like Leonard Floyd and Maliek Collins. General manager John Lynch emphasized the importance of the 11 draft choices available, hinting that the franchise must make strategic decisions to fill critical gaps left in defense.
A year later, Lynch sat in a different Florida hotel chair at the NFL league meetings discussing another flurry of defensive line moves, including the releases of Floyd, Collins and tackle Javon Hargrave.
The message was clear: the 49ers plan to address their biggest roster hole via the 2025 NFL draft.
