With only a few weeks left on the college football slate, NFL draft season is beginning to hit its stride. Before the San Francisco 49ers meet the Buffalo Bills in Week 13, USA TODAY’s NFL Draft Wire released their latest predictions for the 2025 draft with a new mock draft.
With the No. 17 overall selection in the mock draft, Curt Popejoy of USA TODAY’s draft wire penned East Carolina cornerback Shavon Revel to the 49ers in the first round.
In three seasons at East Carolina, the 6-foot-3 defensive back has notched three interceptions, 15 pass deflections, a sack and five tackles for loss over 24 games. Revel has wrapped up 71 total tackles in his career.
Revel’s junior season was cut short after the top prospect tore his ACL at practice in September. Prior to his injury, Revel intercepted off App State quarterback Joey Aguilar for a 50-yard pick-six touchdown.

The first round of the NFL draft is set for April 24, 2025. The draft will take place in Green Bay.
