A physical mauler similar in many ways to his former Alabama teammate, JC Latham (now a member of the Tennessee Titans), the 6-foot-5, 352-pound Booker cracked the starting lineup in 2023 and immediately earned All-SEC honors. Scouts will love the fact that he enjoyed his strongest performance of the year last season in the SEC Championship victory over Georgia.
Nolen is a flash player who transferred to Ole Miss from Texas A&M after four sacks last season. He should have more opportunities to create disruption with the Rebels, which could make him a great pick for the 49ers, who could use reinforcements along their front seven. Part of San Francisco's identity is being strong and deep in the trenches.
The 49ers added some talent on the interior offensive line this draft, but if Colton McKivitz doesn't improve as a pass blocker, right tackle will need to be addressed next year. Conerly was the No. 1 offensive tackle in the 2022 recruiting class and allowed only one sack in his first season as a full-time starter, protecting Bo Nix's blind side as a sophomore.
The top-ranked offensive line recruit out of high school in the 2022 class, Conerly went through growing pains as a sophomore, but he played really well over the second half of the season and is trending toward the first round.
Even after selecting Dominick Puni in the third round, the 49ers should keep adding to their offensive line. Savaiinaea has work to do as a run blocker, but he has intriguing tools in pass protection. Since 2022, his 80.0 pass-blocking grade on true pass sets places in the 90th percentile among offensive tackles.
George Kittle will turn 31 during the 2024 season, and he's missed a lot of time during the past few seasons. Colston Loveland would give the San Francisco 49ers another tight end who could play with Kittle for the next few years before taking over for him.
At 6-5 and 270 pounds, Dennis-Sutton puts together an impressive set of athletic tools for highly respected 49ers defensive line coach Kris Kocurek to bring along. He also would give San Francisco someone who could be a long-term fixture opposite Nick Bosa.
Judkins flashes elite short-area quickness, and that, coupled with his explosiveness and physicality, makes him one of the most exciting players heading into the 2024 season. His ability to accelerate, bend and redirect are rare, and it's what separates him from other runners in this class.
