The San Francisco 49ers made a significant strategic decision in their recent draft by focusing entirely on strengthening their defense. They selected four defensive players in the first three rounds, including defensive end Mykel Williams and defensive tackle Alfred Collins. On Day 3, they added defensive tackle C.J. West. This approach mirrors their historical drafting patterns from 1981. The new additions are expected to fill the void left by the recent departures of key defensive players, supporting a renewed emphasis on defense as the team prepares for the upcoming season with ongoing training activities.
The 49ers' 2023 draft focused solely on bolstering their defense, selecting four defensive players among their first five picks, a rarity since 1981.
Defensive tackle C.J. West was selected 113th overall to address the interior defensive line's depth, highlighting a strategic shift for the San Francisco 49ers.
