Breer: 49ers made the decision to draft Nick Bosa after Dee Ford trade

So how about that San Francisco 49ers defensive line? The 49ers went and got Kris Kocurek, traded for Dee Ford, and that line was already nasty. What came was the final piece: Nick Bosa.

SI’s Albert Breer had a bit of background on how Nick Bosa came to be the No. 2 pick for the 49ers in his MMQB article on Monday:

How early did the Niners know it was taking Bosa second overall? I’m told that when San Francisco traded a second-round pick to the Chiefs for Ford, they did it because of how they saw him pairing with Bosa.
