The San Francisco 49ers urgently need to improve their defensive line, and this year's draft presents multiple opportunities to do so. They are likely to target Indiana defensive tackle CJ West, who excelled as a run stopper during his college career. After transferring from Kent State, West displayed the ability to disrupt opposing offenses, fitting a significant need for the 49ers. However, concerns around his pass-rushing capabilities and a high missed tackle rate may limit his draft value and immediate impact.
West's production as a run stopper over his final three college seasons really sticks out when figuring out where he'd fit with the 49ers.
While the first round looks like a prime spot for the 49ers to find a key contributor up front, there should be opportunities for them to find additional depth later in the draft.
