Well-built, bendy, explosive, hand-work master who can win a variety of ways when flying around the corner. Sets a strong edge and can disengage from blockers to make plays against the run near the line of scrimmage. Core muscle injury is slightly concerning, but otherwise, he's a polished, instant impact rookie. Draft tracker: Get grades for every pick 49ers: A Pete Prisco: Love this pick for the Niners. They are building something special on that defensive line. Bottom line is they are gonna get after the quarterback. Love this pick.

Fantasy impact Dave Richard: Nick Bosa will immediately help the 49ers rush the passer and slam the run. Look at their additions -- Bosa, Dee Ford, Kwon Alexander. Add them to the big D-linemen they already had and this is going to be a tough defense. They'll play the Browns in Week 1, then the Rams in Week 2. I'm not sure I'd start that DST against those offenses. That means I might not draft their DST unit despite how good they look on paper. Bosa will be a must-draft DL in IDP Fantasy with a middle- to late-round pick. NFL comparison: Joey Bosa Chris Trapasso: I'll keep this short because it's the easiest comparison in this draft class. From the first step to the bend to the advanced arsenal of pass-rushing moves and speed-to-power capabilities, Nick is basically a carbon copy of his brother, Joey. College career Ryan Wilson: Bosa, who arrived at Ohio State as a true freshman the year his brother left for the NFL, played in 12 games in 2016 and had five sacks and seven tackles for loss. He played in 14 games as a sophomore and improved his numbers to 8.5 sacks and 15 tackles for loss but only appeared in three games last season before he was sidelined with a core muscle injury. Bosa opted for surgery and sat out the rest of his junior season, instead preparing for the draft. Strengths Ryan Wilson: Bosa, not surprisingly, looks a lot like his brother. He has insane physical strength, insane get-off, controls the line of scrimmage and wreaks havoc in the backfield. He has to be accounted for on every play and can beat you inside, outside, with speed rush or bull rush. Good luck stopping this: Or this: Weaknesses Ryan Wilson: It's hard to find much fault with Bosa's game but there are the concerns about injury -- he played in just three games in 2018 because of a core muscle injury. And while there are many similarities between the brothers, Nick may be slightly less explosive than Joey.<doc-sep>49ers Defense Primed to Put Pedal to the Floor With Bosa When John Lynch took control of the 49ers, the team was in shambles. Head coach Kyle Shanahan would go a long way towards fixing the offense. The defense was a different matter. There were a few young pieces with potential. Defensive tackles DeForest Buckner and Since then, Buckner has developed into one of the top players at his position, former Pro Bowlers, cornerback Richard Sherman and The 49ers line up in nickel more than any other formation defensively. Completing that lineup would be Armstead or Solomon Thomas at the other defensive tackle position, Ahkello Witherspoon as the third cornerback (who covers slot is T.B.D. ), Tartt as the strong safety and either 49ers 2019 Defense CB Sherman DE Bosa DT Armstead/Thomas DT Buckner DE Ford CB Witherspoon CB Verrett LB Warner LB Alexander SS Tartt FS Ward/Colbert *Base formation: Thomas or Armstead slide outside to DE, Ford or Mark Nzeocha play the third linebacker. Lynch was hired in January 2017. In just more than two years, the 49ers have developed a pro bowler, signed three pro bowlers, traded for a pro bowler and drafted at least two potential pro bowlers on the defensive side of the ball. The 49ers didn't just target talent blindly, however. They sought out players who could transform the defense into a fast unit that gets to the quarterback and fits together perfectly like one big puzzle. "You're going to fit right in," Saleh told Bosa on the phone on Thursday. "Just come with that mindset. Let's get after the passer ... all gas brother." All gas indeed. The 49ers should be a lot more aggressive defensively this season. The defensive line should be one of the best in the league. Having a good rush from both edges thanks to Ford and Bosa, along with a great interior push with Buckner is rare. Offenses will have to pick their poison. "I think opposing O-lines should be pretty scared," Bosa said to Scared might be going too far but this isn't the nearly empty cupboard 2017 defense or the work in progress 2018 defense. This is the finished product. That winding road has straightened, a drag strip formed, and the 49ers are a hot rod ready to hit the gas and put the pedal to the floor. Maybe that's cheesy to say, but it's true too. This 49ers defense is primed. Levin T. Black Written by: Levin T.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan would go a long way towards fixing the offense. The defense was a different matter.There were a few young pieces with potential. Defensive tackles DeForest Buckner and Arik Armstead along with safety Jaquiski Tartt were on the team. They weren't finished projects. They needed development. There were no great veterans either. In fact, there wasn't a single Pro Bowl caliber defender on the roster at the time Lynch was made general manager. The rest of the defense would have to be acquired.Since then, Buckner has developed into one of the top players at his position, former Pro Bowlers, cornerback Richard Sherman and Jason Verrett and linebacker Kwon Alexander, were signed in free agency while potential Pro Bowl caliber players, linebacker Fred Warner and Bosa, were drafted and Pro Bowl defensive end Dee Ford was obtained via trade.The 49ers line up in nickel more than any other formation defensively.

It drives home the 49ers' clear objective this offseason of improving the pass rush. Bosa was the final piece and the 49ers know it. "You're going to fit right in," Saleh told Bosa on the phone on Thursday. "Just come with that mindset. Let's get after the passer ... all gas brother. "All gas indeed.

": Nick Bosa pushed for 49ers to acquire this rookie By David Bonilla May 13, 2021<doc-sep>The San Francisco 49ers made it clear they're serious about their pass rush. With the No. 2 overall pick in Thursday's NFL draft, the 49ers selected Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa as the latest addition to their front four. The 49ers also traded for edge rusher Dee Ford, who was a Pro Bowl selection for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2018 after record 13 sacks, in the offseason. San Francisco has now used four of its last seven first-round picks on defensive linemen. The team selected defensive end Solomon Thomas in 2017, defensive tackle DeForest Buckner in 2016 and defensive end Arik Armstead in 2015. Bosa played in just three games before a core muscle injury sidelined him for the remainder of the season, but he was a first-team All-American in 2017. The younger brother of Joey Bosa, the Chargers' Pro Bowl defensive end who was the No. 3 pick in 2016, Bosa was ranked by many as the top overall prospect available this year.

NFL Draft 2019: Nick Bosa excited to join 49ers' stacked defensive line originally appeared on nbcsportsbayarea.com SANTA CLARA - The 49ers added to their stacked defensive line Thursday night by selecting Nick Bosa with the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL draft. Bosa has no worries about fitting into a unit of former first-rounders. In fact, he can't wait. There now will be five first-round draft picks in the 49ers' defensive line room. Along with Bosa, the 49ers have DeForest Buckner (7th pick, 2016), Solomon Thomas (3rd pick, 2017), Arik Armstead (17th pick, 2015) and Dee Ford (23rd pick, 2014). Bosa believes San Francisco is a great place for him to land. "It's definitely an amazing fit, and I'm excited to go to work," Bosa said in a conference call after being selected. "Just the 4-3, pass-rushing, edge-setting defense. I mean, it's exactly what I've been doing all my life. So, I think I'll hop in and acclimate pretty quick." Going into such a deep group of defensive linemen could, in theory, limit a rookie's snap count. But Bosa simply believes the group will be a force to be reckoned with next season. "It's unbelievable just to be on a team that really shouldn't have been this high in the draft with all the talent that they have," Bosa said. "And then they add Dee Ford, which just makes this D-line pretty scary. It's pretty impossible to double team any of us because then you're single-teaming one of us, and it's going to be fun." 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan believes Bosa is versatile with an obvious strength on the edge. "I see him as a three-down player," Shanahan said. "I mean, he's got to come in and do it, but he plays the run well. His best strength is rushing the passer, but he can play all three downs and he can play in all situations." Story continues Shanahan also believes the addition of Bosa will allow the 49ers' other defensive lineman to play where they are the most effective. "This makes it easier," Shanahan said. "We've had some guys with versatility, but you always want to put guys in the spot that they were kind of born to do. We have guys like Armstead and Solly who can rush outside and are really good at playing the run outside, but they are the best at rushing the passer from the inside. Just like Buckner is. "Now we got two guys in particular who excel in rushing from the edge. That's Dee Ford, and that's Bosa. It allows you to use the versatility better and put guys where truly they are at their best." Bosa believes it will be a seamless transition to the NFL, given what he learned about how the 49ers plan to use him while at his visit to the facility prior to the draft. "It was pretty clear to me on my visit how they are going to use me, and I think it's very similar to what I did at Ohio State," Bosa said. "A few different things, but I'll just pick those things up quick, and it'll be a quick transition." [RELATED: The Choice -- Football runs in Bosa's blood] Bosa also is ready to begin sharing knowledge with the group, which will be expected to perform at a high level come September. "It's going to be a high expectation for the group, but I'm just excited to get to work and get to learn from them and show them what I know and just get after it as a team," Bosa said. "I'm glad to be on a team finally."
