NFL Draft is one of the most important in recent years for the San Francisco 49ers. Coming off a disappointing 6-11 season, the Niners hold the 11th overall pick, their highest selection since 2011, and are under pressure to nail a draft in which they are set to hold 10 selections and build on a 2024 class that impressed amid the team's overall struggles.

Early analysis of the 2025 NFL draft class indicates this year’s group of defensive linemen will be a good one. That’s a plus for the San Francisco 49ers given their need for cheap, quality talent in that position group.

After knocking the rust off on day one, Wednesday's practices saw some of the top talents at the Senior Bowl start to hit their stride, including a couple who are likely to be of great interest to the San Francisco 49ers.

The first Senior Bowl practice is in the books, with NFL hopefuls taking the field Tuesday in Mobile, Alabama, to showcase their skills before a watchful contingent of NFL decision-makers.
