49ers select Mykel Williams-DE-Georgia with the 11th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft

I think that was Kyles and lynch's #1 priority this off-season. Building a defense that's gonna be hard to run against, and I think they may have just accomplished that with these draft picks.

He's talking about a ridiculously expensive vet.

Now we just need to hope they stay healthy cause the current depth behind the rookies is rough. Unless guys make improvements but everyone sucked outside of Bosa last year at stopping the run.

Excellent information on him - appreciate you sharing, I didn't know some of those specifics.

The person he reminds me of through play style in college, not his physical traits, is Justin smith. Just a game wrecker that can move around the line and wreak havoc. Can gobble up guys,set the edge, create opportunities for guys through the attention he demands.

he also seems like a huge team first guy, which is great. When you couple him with the other DL guys we picked AND bosa, I think we have something brewing. So much energy, violence, run stopping.. it's awesome.

Williams is young but the other DL guys we got, are older. More league ready than a typical :typical rookies physique wise. So hopefully the impact is more drastic than normal. I'm excited about this new DL

Yes, tankle104 (welcome) I think that Mykle W. brings so much to the Niner's that, We are still finding out details about his game that (I am sure the scouting dept) knew about him,That we didn't know yet. This was another scouting nugget about him

" I love how well he plays defenses and reads run plays while keeping his eyes on the open field. He's bullish in his approach, and the only knock on his game is how often his game can be put on hold, as the Bulldogs went for a lot of looks that didn't involve him". (Another reason his stats weren't as high as they could've been) ."Georgia coaches said that when Mykle was in the game, he impacted the defense in many other way's than just his own play "He basically elevated the whole Defense ! This was Mykle 's answer on what he wants from his rookie season ..."Mykel Williams on his ideal rookie season:
"I want to win a ring. We going to the Super Bowl my rookie year. That's a great way to start the career off. I want a ring. I also want 8 to 10 sacks. I ain't gonna lie to you. And I want whatever rookie award it is. Defensive Rookie .Gota Love his passion to be the best he can be.

I love - seems really passionate about the game. I think some fans (just generally, no one specific on here) don't realize how many pros (basketball too) are actually passionate about the game. They aren't students of the game and its history and don't even watch the sport outside of playing in it. A good chunk of pros just play cause they've always done it and are good at it, it's a way to make a lot of money.

seems like a lot of the guys we got are in love with the game, which is fun to see. I'm thrilled that we got a lot of run stuffers this year. That was my biggest concern about having rookie playing all over - that they'd be good pass rushers but not good run stuffers. I'm very excited to hear how these guys are doing in camp and hope they stay healthy.

Yes, That's true of a lot of teams in the NFL ,you would be surprised that they really don't have that passion for football like people would think (Sure they care about winning, cause that's their business) But that doesn't necessarily mean their passionate about football. San Francisco is an exception ,to most teams, The Niner's instill into their players "to play high energy "physical" football".... Which we know, but they make sure that the players they draft , Really have to Love the game first ....I know that's "cliche" for many teams But not in SF ie When they were interviewing 4th Rd Jordan Watkins ,(Which) he looks like a good prospect btw.,

He mentioned that the thing that made SAN FRANCISCO very special is that they "really" (care about football) and they told him, that if he did also
he will fit really Well here" inSF.

The Niner's look for those players as a prerequisite before any other trait. ie The passion to play for example is what separates those teams,When its late in the season and the games take on a more meaningful importance, Between teams, that just want to put an end to their season ,And those that are taught."Just work hard and don't take plays off" and good things happen when you hustle, That's where Passion for the game can make the difference, between working on next year season already ,to those ,needing to win your remaining games to make the playoffs . And as we all know "Once you're in the playoffs it's a new season" and anything can happen.Hey even a wildcard team that has Passion to play,Can beat a # 1 ranked undefeated team in the SuperbowlXLII Giants showed what playing hard can overcome.

Evan, Alfred & CJ really make a nice run stuffing rotation in the middle, assuming Alfred & CJ live up to the hype.
Will be interesting what our 3rd down, pass rushing DL will look like. I'm guessing Bosa, Alfred (his ability to knock down passes can't be overlooked), Mykel & YGM (the last 2 being interchangeable @ DE/DT).

Yeah our depth everywhere outside of maybe WR once Ayuik is healthy is pretty bad. We are one serious star injury from having a gaping hole

Thats alot of height and length. I suspect we see alot of loaded fronts with alot of versatility to move players around. Bosa on the strong side, Bosa and Mykel on the same side. Here it's Bosa on the single side forcing the guard to make a decision to commit to the double or not. Meanwhile youve got three 6'5 dudes set up to crash the line in a 3 vs 3 attack. The QB is going to feel that pretty quickly. Mykel is going to be able to play that single role as well. He is disciplined enough to not get upfield chasing sacks and to leave a wide lane for the QB to escape. He'll create his pressure, maintain gap integrity, and let the havoc side finish the play. If we can stop the run, create third and passing situations, and create pressure without the blitz, Salah will be able the scheme up the back end.

Aldon Smith is a better comp, same kind of players. Hopefully he is smarter than Aldon.

Aldon Smith could finish in college and he wasn't surrounded by a college all star team.

Aldon Smith had the exact same number of sacks, less pressures and had more snaps in college. Aldon only had three sacks in his last year in school and played more snaps than Williams because Missouri didn't have the players to rotate like Georgia had. Georgia wasn't as good as they have been this past year either, their offense was worse because their QB sucked, they had coverage issues too. They had a really deep defensive line though.

I'm guessing on 11 personnels, Bosa plays the w9 outside the TE, CJ West plays the 3T between the guard and tackle, Alfred Collins plays the 2i on the weak side, and Mykel Williams plays the 5 on the weak side (instead of the 4i he played in college. that's what they meant when they said he's moving to the outside). This makes sense to me because the rookies would play at their natural college positions to begin with increasing their likelihood of success early in their careers.

GA rotates their lineman so much it's hard for them have big sack numbers. Dude has the measurables and the talent. Niners gotta coach him up so we see the production. I'm hoping for 6-8 sacks

Probably Jordan Elliot time on 3rd and long some YGM inside Bosa and Okuayinonu on the edge. If Collins and Williams get in on that package, that's a very good sign for their development.

Early downs I expect to see Williams and YGM rotate, Collins, West, and Anderson in the middle, and Bosa.
