2. San Francisco 49ers Nick Bosa, EDGE, Ohio State
The 2019 NFL Draft is going to go down as one of the better classes of defensive linemen in years. There’s going to be an influx of talent along the defensive line of scrimmage and with the second overall pick, the San Francisco 49ers go after their own lineman in Nick Bosa.

The younger brother of Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa, Nick comes into the NFL after missing the majority of his junior season with Ohio State. He had to have surgery on his core muscle back in October but elected to sit out the season once he was healthy.
Knowing he was in line to be one of the top picks in the draft, Bosa felt it was better for him to rehab and start preparing for his career. That should end up serving him well as he limited the wear on his body, and will also be far enough removed from his injury that he’ll be 100 percent healthy.
Once he blows up the Combine, there will be calls for him t go No. 1 overall. However, the Cardinals took Williams — thanks in part to Chandler Jones being on their roster — which helps the Niners land a player who can make a huge impact on their struggling defense.
