2019 NFL Draft: Final complete 7-round mock draft as Kyler Murray still goes No. 1

2. San Francisco 49ers Nick Bosa, EDGE, Ohio State
With the No. 2 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers select defensive end Nick Bosa out of Ohio State. With this selection, the Niners can pair Bosa and former Kansas City pass rusher Dee Ford on a line that will look much better than a season ago.
Bosa, who missed the end of his final collegiate season while rehabbing an injury, knows he could end up in Frisch and because of this, he’s even started to tone down his political tweets in recent weeks.
"“With that in mind, the Ohio State defensive end decided to cut back on the kind of blunt tweets he used to deliver. He has praised President Trump on the social media platform in the past, calling him and Ronald Reagan the GOATs, and in 2016 he described Colin Kaepernick as a “clown.” Why did he cut back on the politics, while also deleting other controversial comments? The reason for his decision, he said, is simple.” — Cindy Boren, The Washington Post"
That reason given by Bosa was the high percentage he would land with the Niners. It’s crazy how much politics plays into sports any more but Bosa seems aware that he could start off on a bad foot with his new fan base if he’s not careful.
Then again, they probably won’t mind which way he leans politically if he can rack up double-digit sacks every season.
