2025 Projections
Niners add edge rusher 11th overall
The 49ers selected Williams in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 11th overall.
ANALYSIS
Although Williams (6-foot-5, 260 pounds) is likely capable of starting Week 1, especially for a San Francisco defensive line in the midst of a rebuild, he's still early in his development and probably has more long-term upside than his Georgia box score might lead someone to believe. Williams will turn 21 on June 29, meaning he's at least a year ahead of schedule after otherwise serving as Georgia's lead edge rusher the past three years. If Williams trends toward his higher-range outcomes, he and Nick Bosa would likely prove a dominant duo.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Played hurt in final year
Williams played through a high-ankle sprain for most of his final season at Georgia, Albert Breer of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The edge rusher suffered the injury in the season opener, and while he was able to return less than a month later, he was never quite 100 percent and recorded only 5.0 sacks in 12 games as a junior. Williams was selected 11th overall in the 2025 Draft by the 49ers, and a more productive 2024 campaign with the Bulldogs likely would have boosted his stock further given his elite athletic profile, potentially even putting him in competition with Penn State's Abdul Carter to be the first defensive lineman off the board. A healthy Williams could thrive as the bookend to Nick Bosa in the San Francisco pass rush.
