There are some pass rushers they don’t need to meet with, and then there’s Nick Bosa
It’s finally happening: Nick Bosa and the San Francisco 49ers are meeting. Per Ian Rapoport, the Ohio State defensive end is meeting with the 49ers Thursday.
There’s not much that can be said about Bosa that hasn’t been already. He’s considered the best player in the 2019 NFL Draft and a possible lock to the San Francisco 49ers at No. 2. This is dependent on a few things. For one, the Arizona Cardinals will need to go with all the speculation and take Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray. For another, Kentucky linebacker Josh Allen and Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams would have to prove they aren’t on-par or better than Bosa to give the front office any ideas.
The 49ers are predicted to take a pass rusher with the No. 2 pick. Whether it’s Bosa, Allen, or someone else is the big question. The pool got a nice look by Kyle Shanahan when he got to coach the Senior Bowl, but they aren’t using their visits upon pass rushers specifically. Michigan defensive end Rashan Gary was reported to not be having a private visit.
Bosa’s been making the news in other ways with his recent scrubbing of Twitter and trying to get under the radar with some political stances that may contrast with the majority in the San Francisco area. Political affiliations aside, if drafted he has the potential to transform the 49ers defensive line from a point of weakness to a point of strength. Putting him with Dee Ford, DeForest Buckner and Solomon Thomas—who indicates his best football is just ahead of him— would be filthy.
Let’s see how his visit and interviews go.
