SANTA CLARA — Nick Bosa’s biannual task for the 49ers will be to pressure, sack and torment the only player drafted ahead of him Thursday, that being Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray.
As for the other games, Bosa needs to mimic that from his defensive end spot as a pass-rushing complement to Dee Ford, a speedy edge rusher the 49ers traded for last month from Kansas City.
With a better pass rush should come more wins and, especially, more turnovers for a franchise that set a NFL record with only two interceptions last year.
Bosa attended the NFL’s draft festivities in Nashville and is expected to be introduced Friday at 49ers headquarters.
