Bad teams shouldn’t stay bad for long in the NFL.
Eventually, they become good teams if they draft well, because they pick high every year. The league wants them to improve.
The 49ers have the second pick this year, and could take Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa, Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, Kentucky outside linebacker Josh Allen or trade down.
The right choice could jumpstart the franchise.
But making the right choice isn’t easy. Ask the 49ers.
They would be good already had they drafted the right players in the first round the past five years.
