Don't forget the Niners have Kalia Davis waiting in the wings, a 6th rd pick in 2022 sitting out recovering from ACL. He has exceptional movement skills for a DT, having moved from ILB to DT.
The NFL graded 6-1 302 Davis at 6.13 as a pre-draft prospect. The NFL graded 6-1 319 DJ Jones at 6.20 as a pre-draft prospect.
Davis is on the Reserve/non-football injury list and I believe could join the Niners this season if need be, but they would have to feel good enough about him that they think he could be ready to play after a 3 week practice window opens for him. Teams get to move two players from NFI list to active roster during season. This is separate from injured reserve activations.
On a related note, David Lombardi reported that he expects the Niners to open practice window for Javon Kinlaw today, which means he should come off IR soon.
