Collins, at 332 pounds, is the heaviest defensive tackle drafted since 2017 under general manager John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan, the latter of whom is also a Texas product. Collins played five seasons at Texas, accruing 7 1/2 sacks and 142 tackles.

The 49ers used their first five selections on defensive players for the first time since their famed 1981 draft that included Ronnie Lott.
