3. San Francisco 49ers

QB. UCLA. Josh Rosen . 3. player. 42. Are Brian Hoyer and C.J. Beathard honestly the future of the San Francisco 49ers at quarterback? Doubtful. Whether they think Beathard is the next Cousins or not, the reality says another top three draft pick demands that GM John Lynch not waste the opportunity to load up at that position while he can. A team only gets so many shots at the top options, and with two already off the board he’s really not given much choice. <p>At one point in time Josh Rosen looked like a bonafide #1 overall pick. Then a series of injuries really played havoc with his development. Since then he’s been trying to recapture his momentum. What makes it sting even more was he’d just started to find his groove when he went down last year. No doubt he knows this could be his last, big chance to wow the scouts before they start writing him off as a project destined for the middle rounds.</p>
