2. San Francisco 49ers

2. player. 42. There is no doubt that the San Francisco 49ers need a quarterback. Colin Kaepernick isn’t the answer. Blaine Gabbert wasn’t the answer. Chip Kelly can’t be expected to run his offense until he finds the right trigger man. The problem is Trent Baalke has had numerous opportunities to fix this problem early in the draft but he’s remained stubborn about it. Besides he won’t be able to pass up what many consider the most talented player in the entire class at #2. <p>Even though they took DeForest Buckner this past draft, he doesn’t bring what Myles Garrett does. The Texas A&M product is a once in a generation pass rusher. He can play any position, be it a defensive end or outside linebacker and excel. He’s that gifted of an athlete. Teams have to constantly note where he lines up because he can rush from a multitude of spots. Best of all he knows how to win battles with power and with finesse. Pair him and Buckner together? It’s over.</p>. DE. Texas A&amp;M. Myles Garrett
