49ers select Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa with the No. 2 pick

Nick Bosa to the San Francisco 49ers was once thought impossible, but now it’s a reality. Many consider the Ohio State defensive end the best player overall in the 2019 NFL Draft and he has been selected by the 49ers with the second pick.

The 49ers pass rush was abysmal in 2018 and it was made clear early-on in the 2019 offseason that John Lynch meant business on fixing the unit. They released Cassius Marsh (after picking up his option) and traded for Kansas City Chiefs edge rusher Dee Ford.
