The 49ers’ No. 11 pick from the 2025 NFL Draft, edge rusher Mykel Williams from Georgia, is someone to watch for Defensive Rookie of the Year. “My next choice is Mykel Williams – the 11th pick in the draft,” Baldinger said. “The San Francisco 49ers are looking to rebuild their defensive line. You got Nick Bosa on one side, they drafted Alfred Collins in the middle to give you some push, and Mykel Williams – who was basically hurt all year with that high ankle sprain – [is] going to come in healthy. “He’s an elite talent. And if Bosa’s getting a lot of double teams, Mykel Williams has the ability to beat one-on-ones with [offensive] tackles or slide protections or anything else. Mykel Williams is in that [Defensive Rookie of the Year] conversation.”
Williams deserves the high praise. Over three years and 40 games at Georgia, the 20-year-old collected 67 tackles – 23 of which for losses – and 14.0 sacks. Williams also won the 2022 College Football Playoff National Championship with the Bulldogs.
