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.

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.

Every team should take a seventh-round quarterback every year and Rourke is as good an option as any for the 49ers here. It’s been obvious for months that this guy is Kyle Shanahan’s exact type: tall, can rip it down the seam, accurate, tough, smart, and with just enough mobility.
