NFL analyst Brian Baldinger recently shared his breakdown of key San Francisco 49ers draft picks, highlighting the team's effort to rebuild its depleted defensive line with several early selections.

Baldinger provided detailed insights on four players from the 49ers' 11-man draft class, a group expected to contribute quickly and help stabilize the trenches on defense.


DE Mykel Williams, Georgia


Baldinger praised Mykel Williams' versatility, noting that the 6-foot-5, 270-pound defender can line up almost anywhere along the defensive front. He highlighted the player's impressive length, power, and quickness, all traits that make him a natural fit to start immediately opposite Nick Bosa.

DT Alfred Collins, Texas


Baldinger shifted inside and focused on Alfred Collins, the nearly 6-foot-6, 332-pound defensive tackle. He showed off a clip of Collins easily handling a triple-team block, underscoring his ability to consistently cause disruption in the trenches.

LB Nick Martin, Oklahoma State


Baldinger said Nick Martin reminds him of former 49ers linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair, now with the Houston Texans. While Martin missed time last season due to a knee injury, Baldinger praised his 2023 film, calling the young linebacker "all-world" and noting his natural instincts and physical style of play.

DT CJ West, Indiana


Baldinger also highlighted the athleticism of CJ West, a 6-foot-1, 316-pound defensive tackle. West's film showed his ability to dominate gaps and disrupt plays in the backfield.
