With the 49ers' 2024 playoff hopes all but faded, the focus now turns toward San Francisco's 2025 NFL Draft positioning.
San Francisco's 12-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night at Levi's Stadium originally moved the 49ers to the No. 13 overall pick in the 2025 draft.
Despite not playing on Sunday, San Francisco was again dealt another tough blow as the 49ers dropped even further in the draft order.

After Sunday's slate of games, San Francisco now drops two slots back to the No. 15 overall spot.
The 49ers haven't selected No. 15 overall since 1968, when San Francisco drafted three-time All-Pro center Forrest Blue out of Auburn University.
During coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch's tenures with the 49ers, San Francisco has made a top-20 selection five times. Here is who the 49ers have taken with those picks.
- Defensive tackle Solomon Thomas (No. 3 overall, 2017)
- Offensive tackle Mike McGlinchey (No. 9 overall, 2018)
- Defensive end Nick Bosa (No. 2 overall, 2019)
- Defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw (No. 14 overall, 2020)
- Quarterback Trey Lance (No. 3 overall, 2021)
