I hope Collins turns out great. Just wonder if he would have been available later and we could have gone OT at pick 43

Every time a player is picked:
"reach, coulda had him a round later"
nobody knows that!

I thought Alexander had good run defense and offered pass rushing
Collins is 100% skew to elite run stopping
We are gonna shut down the run hard with our new DL

Alfred Collins DT Texas
Height: 6 - 5 | Weight: 332 lbs | RAS: N/A
Alfred Collins has engimatic qualities as a 2025 NFL Draft prospect. He accumulated just seven career sacks in five seasons at Texas, and as expected, he struggles to attack independently on pass-rushing downs, despite his physical tools. However, he is extremely effective as a run defender -- perhaps the most effective in the class. His style will not suit every team, but Collins' high floor in the run game, combined with his athletic upside, makes him an extremely compelling Day 2 investment. At 6'5", 332 pounds, with long levers for arms, Collins is a pure space-eater who also has the explosiveness to reset the line and hit blockers with jarring power. He can slab blocks, stack-and-shed with violence, and snuff out carries, and his power profile and motor imply untapped potential on later downs.
There is a couple fire hydrants in the middle for you
Another stout run defender, love that.
And another dlineman with room to grow and get better, athletic

Guess the 49ers got sick of being run on. I wanted Alexander but I'm ok with the pick

Like the pick, bit of a reach maybe. Could of got him in the 3rd
Yeah right. Not with this run on DT's
I know. It's been a heavy DT draft to start off. Either way good pick, big guy up the middle, something we need desperately

Chris Paul Jr and best available DB in the 3rd and I'll be pretty happy.

Clearly after last year the plan was to get better at stopping the run. Can't blame them. We were terrible at it.
