The San Francisco 49ers erased their need for a backup quarterback in 2025 when they signed QB Mac Jones to a one-year deal. They addressed that spot again in the NFL draft when they selected QB Kurtis Rourke with the 227th pick.

The San Francisco 49ers picked former Indiana football quarterback Kurtis Rourke with the No. 227 overall pick in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft on Saturday night. He’s only the ninth quarterback in program history to get drafted and the first since Washington picked Nate Sudfeld with the No.

It took until the 249th overall pick, but the San Francisco 49ers finally added offensive line help in the NFL draft. They used their second of three seventh-round picks to get versatile Iowa offensive linemen Connor Colby. He spent four years at Iowa and played all over the offensive line.
