2. San Francisco 49ers

42. John Lynch can declare the #2 overall pick open for business all he wants, but without the backing of a solid quarterback group the odds of him getting a favorable deal aren’t great. Mitch Trubisky is considered the only one top 10-worthy and even he’s a risk due to limited experience. Odds are the San Francisco 49ers will stay put, unless they’re willing to take a discounted price to move down. Always possible, but not expected. <p>If that’s the case than Stanford defensive end Solomon Thomas should be their guy. He came up practically in their back yard, a highly popular player on the west coast who showcased his game-breaking potential by stalking Trubisky for the entire Sun Bowl a few months ago. He can play inside or outside and provides a consistent surge as a pass rusher. One that should feed into others as the 49ers commence rebuilding efforts.</p>. DE. Stanford. Solomon Thomas . 2. player
