Niners Nation • • sports
Key Points:
- The NFL has reduced the time allowed for each team to make a pick in the first round of the draft from 10 minutes to 8 minutes, marking the first time this limit has changed since 2008.
- The San Francisco 49ers hold the 27th overall pick and are expected to be on the clock around 8:36 p.m. PT, though this estimate may vary due to trades or delays.
- No changes to the time limit will occur after the first round; subsequent rounds will maintain the previous timing rules.
- Betting markets have not shifted regarding which player the 49ers will select, with offensive linemen Caleb Lomu, Blake Miller, and Max Iheanachor currently leading the projections.
- For context, the 49ers' previous late-round pick, Ricky Pearsall at No. 31, was on the clock around 8:55 p.m. PT in the 2024 draft.
