Assuming the Arizona Cardinals select quarterback Kyler Murray with the No. 1 overall pick in next month's draft, the San Francisco 49ers will have a big decision to make at No. 2. Does the team select yet another interior defensive lineman in Quinnen Williams of Alabama, go with a difference maker off the edge in Nick Bosa of Ohio State, or trade the pick?
The Good Morning Football crew debated the 49ers' options with the second pick and two of the three on hand Wednesday morning picked Williams. No one felt the 49ers should trade the pick.
Kyle Brandt was the lone host to go with Bosa for San Francisco but acknowledged that both he and Williams seem to be the most "bust-proof" prospects in the draft.
"Personally, I like Bosa more than Williams but they are in a sweet spot there at No. 2," Brandt said.
Brandt later said that he doesn't expect Bosa to be available for the New York Jets when they pick at No. 3.
Both Mike Garafolo and Nate Burleson went with Williams.
"I feel like Williams has the potential to be an absolute difference maker," Garafolo said. "I really do."
Burleson added, "When you look at defensive tackles and what they bring to the table, and how they solidify defenses, and help stuff runs, what running backs do they have to face in the NFC West? Seattle? Running back by committee, including Russell Wilson; you've got to stop him. You've got to stop the run. When it comes to the Rams, Todd Gurley. Arizona? David Johnson.
"So I say go right ahead and get Quinnen Williams because right away, you're going to help stop some of these running backs in the NFC West, which are so good."
