The San Francisco 49ers went overboard in trying to improve their defensive line in the 2025 NFL Draft, as they followed up the selection of pass rusher Mykel Williams with the No. 11 overall pick by taking two defensive tackles in second-rounder Alfred Collins and fourth-rounder CJ West.
Collins has had just about the worst possible start to life in the NFL as one could have imagined. Not only is he behind in learning the 49ers' playbook as a result of his holdout, but he has found himself below West in many key areas of the pecking order.
