3. San Francisco 49ers
42. The San Francisco 49ers are in a bind. They once again have a high draft pick and still need a quarterback. With respect Brian Hoyer, Matt Barkley and C.J. Beathard aren’t their future. At the same time, two of the top QBs in this draft are already off the board. Can GM John Lynch risk losing out on the ones that are still available in favor of a top talent elsewhere? It’s a difficult decision. In the end he needs to get his team a top talent under center. <p>Josh Rosen is the ultimate gamble. There’s plenty of buzz around Josh Rosen. Most of it all over the map. His physical skills are hard to ignore. He’s got every tool a pro quarterback needs for success. At the same time he’s coming off a difficult injury and also is surrounded by rumors of being immature and not a favorite in the locker room. Perhaps he can work through it this year. If so, Kyle Shanahan will be waiting for him.</p>. QB. UCLA. Josh Rosen . 3. player
