Robert Saleh reveals 49ers planned to draft Cam Skattebo in 2025
Robert Saleh said San Francisco loved Skattebo, but the Giants took him with the 105th pick before the 49ers could move up.
- On Wednesday, Tennessee Titans head coach Robert Saleh revealed that the San Francisco 49ers planned to draft running back Cam Skattebo in the 2025 NFL Draft, though the New York Giants selected him with the 105th pick.
- Serving as the 49ers' defensive coordinator in 2025, Saleh confirmed head coach Kyle Shanahan "loved" Skattebo, but the team missed the prospect by eight selections and drafted defensive tackle CJ West instead.
- Skattebo has rushed for 527 yards and six touchdowns through his first two NFL seasons, with a straight-ahead style fitting the "dirty" running game favored by head coach John Harbaugh.
- While Skattebo prepares for Sunday, September 27, against the Titans, San Francisco placed West on injured reserve Wednesday, having selected him with the 113th pick after losing the Giants' running back.
- The missed opportunity carries weight given the Giants and 49ers' storied playoff rivalry, as Saleh's comments remind teams to force the issue when targeting specific Day 3 prospects.
