It's safe to say the folks at Pro Football Focus aren't fans of the 49ers' efforts in the 2025 NFL Draft.
One of the most entertaining things about the NFL Draft is the subsequent fallout from everywhere.
Reactions and overreactions are great, especially when third-party takes don't necessarily jive with what others may feel about their particular team's draft classes.
The San Francisco 49ers took home 11 prospects from the 2025 NFL Draft, headlined by Georgia defensive end Mykel Williams to lead off a class primarily focused on revamping the defense.
In review, here are the Niners' selections from Thursday through Saturday:
- Round 1, No. 11 overall: DE Mykel Williams, Georgia
- Round 2, No. 43 overall: DL Alfred Collins, Texas
- Round 3, No. 75 overall: LB Nick Martin, Oklahoma State
- Round 3, No. 100 overall: DB Upton Stout, Western Kentucky
- Round 4, No. 113 overall: DL C.J. West, Indiana
- Round 4, No. 138 overall: WR Jordan Watkins, Ole Miss
- Round 5, No. 147 overall: RB Jordan James, Oregon
- Round 5, No. 160 overall: DB Marques Sigle, Kansas State
- Round 7, No. 227 overall: QB Kurtis Rourke, Indiana
- Round 7, No. 249 overall: OL Connor Colby, Iowa
- Round 7, No. 252 overall: WR Junior Bergen, Montana
Reactionary content to a team's draft is always going to be opinion-based, so there's nothing wrong with Pro Football Focus weighing in with thoughts on how San Francisco did.
In short, however, PFF doesn't think very highly of the 49ers' efforts.
Pro Football Focus says 49ers had worst draft of entire NFL
In ranking all 32 teams' draft classes, the Niners were the lone bad, bad student with the lone draft grade below passing.
PFF awarded San Francisco a D-grade, the absolute lowest for the 2025 draft, but the explanation only goes through a player-by-player basis and doesn't account for the full class as a whole.
So, we'll forever be wondering what led PFF to make the conclusion.
If it's any solace, though, PFF graded the 49ers' infamous 2022 draft class with a straight-up B-grade, and that class contributed next to nothing beyond the Niners' final pick of quarterback Brock Purdy.
Another reinforcement of the fact that draft grades don't matter one bit. Seeing how players contribute on the field is ultimately what counts most.
