49ers reconsider decision to draft Mykell Williams after injury setback

The San Francisco 49ers selected Mykell Williams at No. 11 in the 2025 NFL draft, aiming to bolster their defense. However, Williams sustained an ACL injury after nine games, recording just one sack. Analysts suggest the 49ers could have benefited from selecting Ohio State receiver Emeka Egbuka instead, who was drafted by the Buccaneers at No. 19 and had a promising start to his rookie season, including three 100-yard games. The 49ers' current wide receiver corps lacks depth, relying on unproven talent and aging players like Mike Evans and Christian Kirk, further highlighting the potential impact of a missed opportunity with Egbuka.
