NFL Mock Draft 2017: Watson & Kizer Go in Top 5 Picks

No. 2 San Francisco 49ers: QB DeShone Kizer


School: Notre Dame


Position: Quarterback


Class: Junior


Outlook: Kizer's physical attributes were the best of any of the top quarterbacks. Kizer measured 6'4 1/2" and 233 pounds at the NFL Combine. Not only did Kizer win the weigh in, he impressed new GM John Lynch who noted he "blew the doors off" in his interview with the 49ers. Lynch spoke with NFL.com about Kizer and the other quarterbacks. "This whole thing is not just about an interview, but if you were grading him on that alone, he blew the doors off. He's an impressive young man, his film's very impressive. I think the same can be said for Deshaun Watson. You watch what he's done, just putting a team on his shoulders and taking down a great champion. (Mitch) Trubisky, (Patrick) Mahomes, I think it's a very talented draft class at that position, one we're very excited about," Lynch told NFL.com. Whether or not Lynch is talking up Kizer as a smoke screen remains to be seen, but San Francisco is in desperate need of a quarterback. (Getty)
