Nose Tackle Brandon Williams

Baltimore nose tackle Brandon Williams has had a solid year for the Ravens with 36 total tackles. He is another 2013 draft product along with most of the players in this upcoming free-agent class.

The Niners need a massive nose tackle to stuff the run, and Williams has the sheer size (6-foot-1 and 340 pounds) to fill the need.

Baltimore will most likely try and re-sign Williams. But if the Niners make a sweet long-term deal, they could sway him to the Bay Area. They would have to pay him around $3 million per year for four to five years because of his age and productivity.
