2. player. 42. Is Blaine Gabbert the future? No. Is Colin Kaepernick the future? Unlikely. San Francisco wrote the modern manual on great quarterback play in the 1980s and 90s with Joe Montana and Steve Young. Until they find a way to lock that position down again, they can’t expect to get back into the Super Bowl conversation. To say nothing of their other roster issues. At last Chip Kelly drafts a QB with a style that fits his system, and at a relative discount for his team no less. <p>Deshaun Watson was the surefire #1 pick in the eyes of many when the 2016 season began. That is how much he dominated 2015. Unfortunately he’s struggled a bit since. Though his numbers remain impressive, his accuracy and decision-making as a passer have regressed to a degree. Nevertheless his supreme athleticism, quick release and poise in big moments make him an attractive option for Kelly and the 49ers who can make great use out of his talents.</p>. QB. Clemson. Deshaun Watson
