The team holds the second-overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft after finishing 2018 with a 4-12 record. Despite an active free agency, the 49ers’ roster is still in need of upgrades at several key positions. In this series, we’ll be taking a look at prospects that could be on the 49ers’ radar throughout the draft beginning on April 25.Among the most consistent aspects of the 2019 draft process has been at the top of nearly every big board: Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa and Alabama defensive lineman Quinnen Williams. The pair represent 1A and 1B among analysts and have distanced themselves from the pack as two sure-fire prospects. With the Arizona Cardinals widely expected to pick Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray first-overall, this leaves the 49ers Bosa and Williams - a choice that may prove more difficult than expected for Lynch. We’ve already taken a look at Bosa George Kittle Jersey , so let’s break down what Williams brings to the table for the 49ers.GoodThere are some that have Williams, not Bosa, as their No. 1 player in the 2019 draft. An impressive feather in the cap of a player with just one full season of college experience. In 2017, Williams (6-3, 303) only played in nine games as a sophomore at Alabama as a rotational piece of their defensive line. He exceeded expectations in 2018 as a starter, totaling 71 tackles, 19.5 tackles for loss and eight sacks in 15 games. Williams possesses a unique blend of power and quickness. His hands, feet K'Waun Williams Color Rush Jersey , movement and instincts allow Williams to win consistently in both the run and pass game. BadOutside of his inexperience, there isn’t much to criticize in Williams’ skillset. He can struggle to hold his ground when double-teamed, a byproduct of a frame that might be considered slightly undersized by NFL evaluators. Most of Williams’ critiques among scouts could border on nit-picking, given his impressive and polished ability in spite of limited experience.FitWilliams would be the 49ers’ fourth first-round defensive lineman in five years. He’d join a crowded front consisting of Arik Armstead, DeForest Buckner and Solomon Thomas. Williams’ best fit in Robert Saleh’s 4-3 defense would be at three-technique, where Buckner plays. Fortunately, both Williams and Buckner’s skillset allows them to play anywhere along the interior. If the 49ers select Williams, it would guarantee reduced snaps for both Armstead and Thomas https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Marquise-Goodwin-Jersey , the teams third-overall pick in 2017.ProjectionWilliams is essentially a lock for the Top 5.The 49ers may be able to trade back as far as No. 4, but if they’re sold on Williams, second-overall is the safest place to get him.WhyIf Bosa goes first-overall to the Cardinals, Williams becomes a very strong possibility for the 49ers as the best player available. There’s also a chance he could be the pick even if Bosa is still on the board. The defensive line isn’t a position of need, but Lynch could believe that Williams’ impressive skillset is enough to warrant the addition. Thomas has struggled to have an impact through his first two seasons and Armstead is playing 2019 under the fifth-year option. If neither earns a spot in the 49ers’ long-term plans, the Williams selection begins to make a lot more sense. He and Buckner would give the defense a formidable interior duo for the foreseeable future. Fooch’s update: The Bears announced on Saturday that Eddie Jackson and Aaron Lynch did not travel with the team to Santa Clara and have been downgraded to out.The Chicago Bears could be rather short-handed on defense this Sunday when they travel to face the San Francisco 49ers. The team will most likely be without starting free safety Eddie Jackson (ankle) and reserve pass rusher Aaron Lynch (elbow), with both listed as doubtful on the team’s final injury report. Defensive lineman Bilal Nichols is questionable due to a knee injury.Jackson has been one of the best free safeties in the NFL this season, and would be a significant absence. Doubtful means he has a 25 percent chance of playing Joe Staley Jersey , but having not practiced all week, he is unlikely to play. This is a big deal for the 49ers passing attack as Jackson has been a great coverage safety for the Bears.Nichols is a Friday addition to the injury report. One Bears beat writer tweeted that Nichols is usually limited in practice on Friday due to the knee injury. He rotates along the right side of the Bears defensive line, between right defensive tackle, right end, right end outside (REO).
