What time to expect the 49ers pick in the first round of the NFL Draft
The NFL reduced the time on the clock from 10 to 8 minutes in the first round of the NFL Draft. We’ll give an estimate of what time to expect the San Francisco 49ers to be on the clock.

We’ll do our best to help 49ers fans get an idea of when the team will be on the clock.
According to the NFL Football Operations, the allotted time for teams this year in the first round is eight minutes. That’s down two minutes, which is the first time we’ve seen a change since 2008. There will be no time change when teams are on the clock after the first round.
That means the 49ers should be on the clock around roughly 8:36 p. m. PT.
That time doesn’t factor in the inevitable trades that’ll take place, or Roger Goodell giving a lengthy, meaningless opening speech after the crowd gives him the boo birds. For reference, when the 49ers selected Ricky Pearsall in the 2024 NFL Draft at No. 31 overall, we were talking about him by 8:55 p.
