2017 NFL Mock Draft: Jimmy Garoppolo Trade Impacts Early

Notre Dame. Deshone Kizer . 2. player. 42. It’s still way too early to determine exactly what the San Francisco 49ers plan to do in the draft give they still don’t have a new GM. Even so, it’s not hard to see what will take top priority. This team desperately needs a quarterback. Colin Kaepernick is likely to opt out of his contract after the season and Blaine Gabbert is not the answer. Getting that position right is a first, critical step to a rebuild. <p>Deshone Kizer was the early favorite to be the highest quarterback drafted in 2017. The reasons why haven’t gone away since. He arguably has more talent than any prospect in the class. He’s big, strong, tough, can play in a pro-style scheme and call audibles. His arm strength is top notch and when protected he’s delivered some impressive strikes. On top of that he’s quite mobile, able to make plays with his feet. It was apparent at Notre Dame the coaching and weaponry were sub par. So what happens if the 49ers can change that?</p>. QB
