49ers Talk: A San Francisco 49ers Podcast8 Apr 2025

Spotlight on familiar faces to revive 49ers' championship aspirations as NFL draft looms

The 2025 NFL draft takes place this month at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. This will bring a host of new faces to the 49ers' organization, who hold a tie for the most picks in this year's edition with the Baltimore Ravens. On this episode of "49ers Talk," NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss how the infusion of youth will invigorate an aging roster and provide a much-needed spark for the 2025 NFL season. Also, Matt and Jennifer detail how the spotlight won't just be on the new draftees but some familiar faces as well. The duo discuss why Christian McCaffrey's health might be the single most important fitness development of the 49ers' offseason and how Robert Saleh implements his defense will play a major role in determining San Francisco's ceiling moving forward.
