PICK NO. 2: NICK BOSA, SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS
You know the Bosa brothers are competitive and Nick is eyeing Joey's 10.5-sack rookie season (12 games) and aiming to top it. On a loaded 49ers defensive line, Bosa is primed to turn in a monster rookie season. Boasting a translatable and NFL-ready pass rushing skill set, Bosa and Dee Ford are among the most potent duo's of EDGE rushers the league features. San Francisco did a terrific job of making its primary weakness and area of strength this off season.
Rookie Sack Prediction: 10-12
PICK NO. 9: ED OLIVER, BUFFALO BILLS
Oliver adds much-needed interior pass rush to the Bills' defense, an area that has been lacking in recent years. Despite tallying 53 tackles for loss across three seasons at Houston, his sack output in college was never greater than 5.5 in any season. With that said, much of that can be attributed to Houston playing Oliver over the center in three-man fronts, leading to constant double and triple teams. His explosiveness, leverage, flexibility and motor should find him in the face of quarterbacks early and often in the NFL.
Rookie Sack Prediction: 6-8
