Our favorite prospect for the 49ers in this year’s NFL draft
“Ezeiruaku checks virtually every box a team looking for an edge rusher could want. He measured in at 6-2, 248 pounds which is a little light for a 4-3 defensive end, but he has 34-inch arms and uses them to effectively mitigate some of the problems caused by his lack of desirable size. Ezeiruaku is also not an elite athlete on paper, but he flashes good explosiveness, balance, bend and motor on film.
He used those athletic tools to rack up a whopping 16.5 sacks and 21 tackles for loss last season, giving him 47 TFLs and 30.0 sacks in 47 games across four college seasons.
While the pass rushing tools and production line up, one of the most encouraging things about Ezeiruaku as a prospect is how well he held up against the run.”
49ers conduct pre-draft meeting with Georgia DT Warren Brinson
“Brinson earned a Pro Football Focus defensive grade of 72.3 or higher in each of the past three seasons, including a career-best 79.1 in 2023. He also posted run-defense grades of 75.5 or better in the last two years, with a career-high mark of 80.5 in 2023.”
49ers hold virtual meeting with projected Day 3 WR prospect Kyle Shanahan may love
“Mumpfield doesn’t bring any of the measurables we typically associate with strong WR prospects, but that makes what he does on tape more impressive. He is open a lot thanks to some nasty route running that highlights his game. When he is forced to make contested catches he does so more effectively than his frame suggests he might, and his body control shines on throws down the field. Mumpfield also has a really good feel to find soft spots in zones when lining up both outside and in the slot.”
