49ers spend first-round draft pick on defensive end Mykel Williams
Briefly

The 49ers initiated their defensive overhaul by drafting Mykel Williams, a talent from Georgia, 11th overall. This follows the return of Robert Saleh as defensive coordinator, aiming to revitalize a team dealing with roster changes, including the resources spent on releasing key players like Leonard Floyd and Javon Hargrave. Williams, a versatile prospect, can play multiple positions on the defensive line. His addition is critical to supporting Nick Bosa, as this is the 49ers' continued investment in defensive linemen in the draft.
"Mykel Williams brings versatility to the 49ers' defensive line, capable of playing both edge and inside, providing needed support opposite Nick Bosa."
