49ers make top 15 of early NFL power ranking despite ‘season from hell’

February 20, 2025 by Niners Wire

It’s safe to say the San Francisco 49ers’ 2024 campaign did not go as planned.

After losing in Super Bowl LVII to the Kansas City Chiefs, the 49ers endured an up-and-down offseason that included a pair of key players holding out of training camp. Following a tumultuous offseason, the 49ers roster continued to take hits with multiple injuries, including reigning Offensive Player of the Year Christian McCaffrey.

The 49ers finished the 2024 season with a disappointing 6-11 record and their first missed trip to the postseason in two years. Despite their struggles in 2024, the 49ers are expected to bounce back in 2025 around their expected returning core of Brock Purdy, George Kittle, Nick Bosa, Fred Warner, McCaffrey, Brandon Aiyuk and more.

In an early set of NFL power rankings, the 49ers landed in the top half. The 49ers landed outside of the top 10 at No. 13 in the Ringer’s NFL rankings.

Via The Ringer’s Diante Lee:

San Francisco had the season from hell. The 49ers lost several key players on both sides of the ball to season-ending injuries, and they didn’t get nearly enough development from the younger players on the roster to stay competitive

Alongside their already star-powered core, the 49ers will be able to add a blue-chip caliber prospect in the draft in April. The 49ers currently hold the No. 11 pick in the first round of the draft. The first round is set to begin on April 24 in Green Bay.
