Nah. I can't see it. He's about the 15th-20th best defensive tackle.

6th or 7th round. Somewhere in there. Maybe a UDFA.

He just didn't do anything in college. 58 tackles and zero sacks in 3 years.

I don't know about that. I don't think he'll get into top 2nd but I expect him to go early day 3 if he keeps showing well. I thought I read he may get the invite to Senior Bowl too so if he keeps balling there the climb will keep going.

Tyliek Williams has officially declared for the 2025 NFL Draft. You're gonna be hard pressed to find a player who is as disruptive as Tyliek is. The more I watch, the more I love the player.

It's a loaded defensive line class, especially on the interior but I can't see him… https://t.co/UovfIv13nr

I'm warming up to Tyliek Williams, but only in a trade down. He's pretty disruptive reminds a lot of Justin Madibuke.

Phew, what a rep

If speculation is true and we release Hargrave, we need to spend our first 2 or 3 picks on IDL. Our depth was crap after he was placed on IR.

I hope we do this....great draft to rebuild DL

There are literally about 20 tackles ahead of him.

No-one is taking a DT in the first few rounds who had zero sacks in 3 years in college.

So many of these IDL prospects are BIG run stuffing studs. But these types are typically not the types that are normally drafted by the Niners. SF normally is happier with smaller IDL with a tad of pass rush ability (see Javon Hargrove). Is this the year we buck the trend and draft that monster in the middle?

I for one certainly hope so! A Kenneth Grant, Tyliek Williams or Deone Walker sound good to me!

Ok listening to some of the post Senior Bowl grade and this guy was getting some love. We know about Oregon's Jordan Burch and Derrick Harmon will go early. But if we want another rotational run stuffer in the late rounds (possible undrafted), we can double/triple up and get this powerful/disruptive, twitchy (former running back), beefy lineman to our unit. He actually looks athletic and can move for his size and I'm sure Lynch got a closer look on this young man. I like this kid late round than Tyliek Williams let's say (3rd-4th round)
Jamaree Caldwell- 6'2" 345 lbs.

Yeah been saying if we don't walk away from this draft with at least 2 impact DLmen then we REALLY F'd up.

Personally I'd love to land a high traits guy like Nolen, Harmon, Alexander, TJ Sanders who have a chance to turn into truly special DTs and a fatty to help vs the run but also provide some pass rush here and there like Grant, Jordan Phillips, JJ Pegues, CJ West or Caldwell.

We can't ignore the offensive line. It has big problems too. Especially if Banks leaves. We got LG, C and RT. RT was much better but could maybe use an upgrade. The other two slots need to be filled.

I'd be shocked if C isn't addressed in FA. OL definitely needs help too but reaching for it isn't the way to do it either cuz then you risk losing out on a premium defender you also need and not getting that much better on the OL at the same time.

I would like them to fix one in FA. Probably C. One less thing they have to draft. Then don't reach for anything. Best offensive line / defensive line that falls to you in each round. The first 4 picks should probably be that. O line / D line. 1, 2, 3, 3 compensatory. I would not be mad if they do that. It should be hugely TRENCHES. It's lunacy not to. It's why this team is bad. Because we ignore it on both sides. We bust on those we do pick. With a few exceptions. Obviously Puni was great and Bosa was a high pick that turned out. But what else can you point to? We got TW in a trade. We do bad here. Really bad at picking the lines.

How I want to see John Lynch drafting DL this draft:



Anything less than 4 drafted DL(atleast 2IDL, 2EDGE IMO) is a disgrace with our current DL situation.
