Golden Nuggets: Rumors Of Draft Week

We are just days away from finally finding out what the San Francisco 49ers will do with their #2 pick. The amount of different players that have been named as possible candidates have been many. On Monday, the latest rumor from Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network was that the 49ers were “strongly considering” selecting a quarterback with the #2 pick. The likely candidate, if the rumor is true, would be Mitch Trubisky.

Mitch has been touted as the best QB of the draft. A report surfaced that Mitch could be taken #1 overall to the Cleveland Browns because some in the organization were high on him. That would be an ideal situation for the 49ers because it would allow them to take Myles Garrett, who is the consensus #1 pick for most of the offseason. But it doesn’t seem likely that the Browns would pass on a talent like Garrett.

If the 49ers do draft with the #2 pick, John Lynch wants to select a player that will be a cornerstone for the franchise. A quarterback picked at #2 would be expected to be a cornerstone player. But the talk of the 49ers picking a QB at #2 could be a play to get other teams to trade with them. Lynch mentioned that they will take calls for the #2 pick till the day of the draft. Ideally, the 49ers would likely want to move down the draft to get more picks to fix the holes they have rather than chose at #2.
