49ers Select Defender in Latest Daniel Jeremiah Mock Draft

The 49ers’ 2025 draft emphasized strengthening their defensive line by selecting Mykel Williams and Alfred Collins in the first two rounds, alongside CJ West in the fourth. NFL draft expert Daniel Jeremiah suggests they should continue this trend by using the 27th overall pick on Texas Tech defensive tackle Lee Hunter, who has shown promise as a run defender and pass rusher, despite modest sack numbers. Hunter’s size and skills could enhance the 49ers’ run defense, particularly in conjunction with Collins and West. While there are risks in betting on Hunter’s upside, his potential impact makes him an intriguing option if available.
