2. San Francisco 49ers

QB. North Carolina. Mitch Trubisky . 2. player. 42. In this day and age, unless the quarterback class is awful there’s a strong chance at least one will go in the top two picks. That’s just the nature of the position and its importance. The San Francisco 49ers should know better than any franchise the value of a top quarterback. Joe Montana and Steve Young made them perhaps the greatest dynasty in NFL history. Colin Kaepernick and Blaine Gabbert are a far cry from that standard. It’s time they tried to improve. <p>Mitch Trubisky is still somewhat of an unknown in scouting circles, and it’s freaking a lot of people out. There isn’t a lot of tape to go around. What’s available though is hard to argue with. The North Carolina QB shows all the tools of a potential franchise starter: poise, accuracy, mobility, size and an ability to elevate his game in clutch situations. He’s not experienced compared to others but he may be the most equipped to have success.</p>
