Nick Bosa NFL Draft 2019: Scouting Report for San Francisco 49ers' Pick

STRENGTHS

—Athletic, strong pass-rusher with NFL bloodlines after his brother Joey and father John were both first-round draft picks.

—Refined rusher who can beat tackles with crossface quickness, powerful hands and a full toolbox of moves; is a plug-and-play starter who comes into the league as a finished product.

—Uses his hands like an All-Pro; has a developed shoulder dip and will swat away the hands of blockers.

—Has enough power and length to be able to kick down and possibly play 3-technique as a pass-rusher in speed packages on the defensive line.
