Taking LSU cornerback Greedy Williams would be a massive reach by the San Francisco 49ers with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.
If the Niners trade out of that spot, however, it’s another story.
Whether or not general manager trades down is a tale to be told later. If he does, however, a Williams-to-San Francisco selection is something that could realistically happen.
Williams, a two-year standout from LSU, fits the mold of long and lanky boundary corners in the 49ers’ Cover 3 zone scheme. And with Pro Football Focus ranking the Niners secondary dead last in the NFL in 2018, finding the next up-and-coming shutdown corner should be high on general manager John Lynch’s priority list.
