The 49ers retooled their pass rush this past offseason, trading away a second-round pick in 2020 for Chiefs defensive end Dee Ford and using the number two overall pick in the 2019 draft on Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa, who many widely considered the best pass rusher in the draft. Ford got a five-year, $87.5 million dollar contract, has produced early and often and looks to be a formidable piece of the pie.
However, Bosa has been every bit as advertised and has mostly quieted the skeptics about the concerns over a lack of collegiate production and injury history.
