49ers post-NFL Draft depth chart: How many rookies could reasonably start Week 1? (paywall)
“We’re predicting that veterans Elliott and Givens are the Week 1 starters, though it would be of little surprise if Collins or West — or both — are in the starting mix. Body-wise, Collins is reminiscent of 2020 first-round pick Javon Kinlaw but without the knee issue that plagued Kinlaw early in his career. West is like one-time 49er D.J. Jones. Anderson, meanwhile, is part of the group that stuck around the team facility in the offseason. He’s been working out alongside fellow 2024 rookies Puni and Malik Mustapha.
