The 2017 NFL draft could have as many as three or four quarterbacks drafted in the first round, but every single quarterback has serious question marks connected to them. There are questions about virtually every draft pick, but this year’s QB class has a lot of people unsure what to do with them.
The San Francisco 49ers were plenty busy with quarterbacks. They met with several at the Combine, and have since moved to workouts and official visits. We know they had official visits with DeShaun Watson and Mitchell Trubisky, and had private workouts with Watson, Trubisky, and Davis Webb. Teams can interact in other ways, including phone calls, but that is what we know.
I decided to put together a list of quarterbacks eligible for the 2017 NFL draft, and the interactions they’ve had with teams. I generally did not include Combine or All Star Game meetings. Teams get 60 Combine meetings, and All Star Game interactions can be as simple as just getting some basic details. I did include the 49ers Combine meeting with Nathan Peterman, since it is the 49ers. But other than that, I focused on official visits, private workouts, and meetings or workouts teams had with a specific player around their Pro Day.
This is not going to tell us a whole lot of much at this point. It will be more interesting to look at this list after the draft and see who went where. If I were to point out anything interesting, it would be the meetings Boston College QB Patrick Towles has had. We have three listed, but it’s more than a lot of lesser known quarterbacks. The data comes from Walter Football and social media reports. It is entirely possible I missed some, so if you see one, let me know.
