NT Draft prospects for 2023

That's a thought. I would love Benton or Kancey in that order. Hate to say it, but they need to replace Kinlaw with someone who can actually hold the point of attack in the run game.
I'm really excited for Kalia Davis; I think he will suprise those that never saw him play in college. I'm not too worried about finding a NT for that run stuffing/block eating role. Easily can find those guys on day 3 like we did in DJ Jones

I agree that Kalia, on paper, fills our need for a penetrating IDL. Do still need a space eater / pocket pusher with pass rush upside. With Payne tagged, gimme Onyemata in FA or Brodric Martin in draft

I think a good option price wise would be Rankins
could have an interior rotation of
AA/Givens//Davis
Rankins//Draft pick/Kinlaw

There is some serious beef in this year's IDL pool.

I think Mazi Smith is probably gone by the late 3rd, but I wouldn't mind seeing the Niners take 2 DTs this year.

1x DT with one of the 3rds, and another in the 5th or 6th round.

I think this is a promising rotation. I could also get on board with two DTs. The reality is it's a need and no one on the interior besides AA and possibly Davis factors into any long term plan. Could also get one on the UDFA market and have said player on the PS if they show some promise in training camp.

As a longhorn fan I can say Coburn is very DJ Jones-ish. He is a bowling ball (like DJ Jones) with a great attitude. But he is a developmental guy. Not foing to have an impact right out of the gate. I hope they make a big move in FA (doubt it) and go after a legit dude to plug in next to AA, but having Coburn on the roster to learn would be a great move.

Still high on him. Evidently so are the Niners

Might be too late to get a FA of note, but I stated before I think he's the 5th or 6th round target. Hope they draft him and add an UDFA. With Kinlaw gone next year, we also may wisely want cheaper depth.

Thinking of the 2024 line, I'd love to see

Bosa/maybe Zach Harrison
AA/Coburn/Cameron Young
Hargrave/Davis
Jackson/Ferrell/looking for an athletic freak here to draft late.
