Defensive end Nick Bosa out of Ohio State had long been pegged as one of the top prospects in the 2019 NFL Draft for the San Francisco 49ers to select. With the Niners needing additional help at edge rusher, it looked like a match made in heaven.
With the addition of both Bosa and the free agency signing of EDGE Dee Ford, the 49ers’ defensive line has seen a drastic improvement prior to the commencement of the 2019 NFL season. Add into the mix the interior players of defensive linemen DeForest Bucker, Arik Armstead and Solomon Thomas, and the Niners have quite the formidable defensive front.
