The 49ers players already have their “Madden NFL 25” Ratings for these star-studded positions: running back, safety, defensive tackle and wide receiver.

On Wednesday, the video game franchise released overall ratings and rankings for two more position groups.

Here’s how San Francisco’s defensive ends and offensive linemen fared in the latest batch of “Madden” rankings:

It’s no surprise that Bosa is once again one of the best edge rushers in the game.

Bosa will enter the 2024 NFL season with a 96 overall rating.

The fifth-year veteran trails Myles Garrett of the Cleveland Browns (98), Micah Parsons of the Dallas Cowboys (98), TJ Watt of the Pittsburgh Steelers (97) and Maxx Crosby of the Las Vegas Raiders (97).

Bosa entered the 2023 season as the top-rated defensive end with 98 points overall.

San Francisco is certainly happy to begin its quest for a sixth Vince Lombardi Trophy with Floyd in the mix.

Floyd earned an overall grade of 79 and is among the top 17% of edge rushers in the game.

Last season, the 49ers’ best defensive end after Bosa, according to “Madden NFL 24,” was Clelin Ferrell with 74 points overall.

Floyd is clearly an upgrade.

Gross-Matos is another important player the 49ers are happy to have made it this offseason.

Plus, he has a 75 overall rating in “Madden NFL 25,” which is a healthy rating for any team’s third-ranked edge rusher — not elite, but useful.

The 26-year-old enters his fifth season improved, having only scored 72 points overall last year.

Overall, nothing stands out about San Francisco’s remaining edge rushers.

Drake Jackson (73), Austin Bryant (68), Robert Beal Jr. (63) and Sam Okuayinonu (63) feature typical rankings for their roles and impact.

Williams enters his 14th season in the NFL as the best offensive lineman in the game, digitally and, possibly, physically.

Of course, the 11-time NFL Pro Bowl selection is part of the prestigious “99 Club,” which is annually exclusive to “Madden’s” highest-rated players.

Williams has been the top-rated offensive lineman in two of the last three video games.

San Francisco is fortunate to have Williams ahead of running back and “Madden NFL 25” cover star Christian McCaffrey, who was recently revealed as a 99 overall player.

Unfortunately, the game has the 49ers’ offensive line pretty rough after Williams.

Jake Brendel (74), Jon Feliciano (74), Aaron Banks (72), Colton McKivitz (72), Dominick Puni (70), Chris Hubbard (69), Brandon Parker (68), Spencer Burford (68), Jaylon Moore (63) and Nick Zakelj (63) received overalls that are not among the best in the game.

All of the forwards listed above rank 115th and below 404th.
