San Francisco 49ers rookie defensive end Mykel Williams shouldn't have trouble finding playing time early in his career and should be an immediate asset in run defense due to his exceptional power, according to The Athletic's Matt Barrows. The 49ers have their three best edge rushers in Williams, Nick Bosa and Yetur Gross-Matos in the Kyle Shanahan-John Lynch era. The question is how good of a pass-rusher Williams can become, as he mostly won via sheer strength in college. How quickly Williams is able to incorporate finesse moves and creativity with his pass rush will determine whether he's solid or exceptional in his first season in the NFL. San Fran took the Georgia product with the 11th overall pick in this year's draft. He won't turn 21 until June 29. Williams has the skills to be a very good pass-rusher for the Niners in the long term.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
