What does the 49ers’ first pick say about the team?

We’ve already seen how Mykel Williams fits schematically with the San Francisco 49ers. But beyond Xs and Os, the 49ers’ first-round pick says a lot about where the team’s head is, and it speaks volumes about the narrative moving forward.

Three things come to mind:

1: The defensive line struggled to get to the quarterback, arguably more than the offensive line struggled to protect theirs.

2: The 49ers are committed to rebuilding their defensive line

3: If you didn’t realize it yet (all two of you), Drake Jackson didn’t work out.
