49ers likely to draft sack leader Mike Green

The San Francisco 49ers are looking to fill a key position after parting ways with Leonard Floyd. Floyd, who recorded 8.5 sacks last season, has joined the Atlanta Falcons. This leaves the 49ers in need of a new star to work alongside Nick Bosa. FanSided's Rucker Haringey predicts that the 49ers will select Mike Green from Marshall University in the first round of the upcoming NFL Draft. Haringey believes this is a logical move due to Bosa's injury history and the inconsistent play from Yetur Gross-Matos. Mike Green had an impressive college season, leading the FBS in sacks and the Sun Belt Conference in tackles for loss. He was recognized as the Sun Belt Player of the Year and earned Second-Team All-American honors. Despite concerns about his off-field issues, Green's athletic talent could make him a standout in the NFL. His speed and agility as a pass rusher could make him an effective player in the 49ers' defense. With all the attention Bosa draws, Green may find many opportunities to shine right away. He concluded his college career with 22.5 sacks, having only become a full-time starter last season.
