  1. San Francisco 49ers

Jared Goff – Quarterback – California

The 49ers now under Chip Kelly say that Colin Kaepernick has a fresh start but that doesn’t mean anything. Behind Kaepernick is Blaine Gabbert who can’t throw the deep ball with much accuracy. Kelly needs a quarterback and he loves players from the Pac-12. Goff has jumped over Memphis quarterback Paxton Lynch. It’s a good year for the 49ers to be needing a quarterback upgrade.

The question is what happens with Kaepernick. Kelly could enter the season with intentions on staring the quarterback who looked awful and was benched in 2015 but it’s hard to imagine the 49ers drafting a quarterback and then sitting him. The days are numbered for Kaepernick in San Francisco.
