“This is a player that I feel overwhelming confidence will produce, and be a Day 1 problem. Folks at the Senior Bowl noted his performance as the most dominant on the defensive line. He matches up with anyone, at a position the 49ers still need depth, and youth.
If you’re worried about not taking a tackle here, I get that. But I have trouble believing some of the high upside tackle prospects with freak athleticism (most are high pass-protection floor, and need run game work) like Amarius Mims or Tyler Guyton, will be available here.
There are also a handful of promising corners, but few that have me fully convinced they’re deserving of this slot.
