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.
