2. San Francisco 49ers

2. player. 42. Trent Baalke has yet to draft a quarterback in the 1st round during his tenure as GM. With Trubisky off the board, don’t expect that to change. Besides the San Francisco 49ers have plenty of problems elsewhere. Especially on defense. Not only are they getting gashed on the ground, their pass rush is also not holding up their end of the bargain. This team lacks a true edge presence who can take advantage of DeForest Buckner and Arik Armstread up front. <p>That changes with the arrival of Myles Garrett. Widely considered the best prospect in the 2017 class, he is a force when going after the quarterback. A rare mix of size, strength and explosion. He plays with plenty of speed but can often outmuscle blockers too. The arsenal of different moves is already diverse and growing. He can play defensive end or outside linebacker. There isn’t a scheme he doesn’t fit. Such players are hard to find and can’t be passed up.</p>. DE. Texas A&amp;M. Myles Garrett
