The San Francisco 49ers need to shift the tone on defense and add impact players at all three levels. Here’s are my favorite players to do just that.
San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch speaks to the press on the first day of training camp, Tuesday, July 25, 2023, in San Jose, Calif. I, a 35-year-old man, have neglected my family and other responsibilities over the last few months to spend time with guys in college.
Few things in sports are as interesting or as engrossing to me as the NFL Draft, so night after night , I’ve popped on some college football and gone to work, evaluating the class of 2024.Now, I could give you all a list of every prospect, but there are enough of those lists. How about I send you the CliffNotes instead?
Here are my favorite prospects on defense for the 49ers in this upcoming draft, broken down into early , middle , and late picks:The Niners need someone who can play at 5-technique if their Wide-Nine defensive front is going to work. That’s what Arik Armstead before the Niners moved him to defensive tackle, and the team’s run defense suffered.
Robinson provides an answer here, as he can play every technique on the line at a high level. He’s massive at 6-foot-5 and 285 pounds but can move like a much smaller man. Slide him inside or outside and he’ll win, and his strength and ability to control blockers will be a welcome addition to a line that has become too agility-based in recent seasons.He’s not terribly fun to watch, but he plays with a relentless motor, has solid size , and is a tactician.
