A 2025 draft decision could haunt 49ers after missing a breakout WR

The San Francisco 49ers knew they were going to have to lean pretty heavily on their young players in 2025. They did just that, getting some solid contributions from rookies who were taken in that year's NFL Draft.

Cornerback Upton Stout was certainly a standout, and Alfred Collins showed promise on the defensive line.

However, looking back, the Niners probably wish they had gone in a different direction on some picks.

Entering the upcoming offseason, the 49ers are staring at the fact that they may very well have to replace four wide receivers. Brandon Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings, Kendrick Bourne, and Skyy Moore could all very well depart, which would leave San Francisco in a very tough spot.
