Texans A&amp;M. Myles Garrett. 2. player. 42. Like Allen, Myles Garrett is a transcendent talent like a Top-2 pick is supposed to be. Many are looking for the San Francisco 49ers to pick a quarterback but that’s a big reach for this class. Besides, Colin Kaepernick doesn’t have to leave this offseason with $14 million on the table. <p>He knows what Kyle Shanahan has done with quarterbacks before so it’s worth it to stay another year. And with this weak QB class, Shanahan could look to revive Kaepernick’s career. After all, Kaepernick has the second-lowest interception percentage in NFL history to Aaron Rodgers.</p> <p>So the 49ers roll with Garrett to improve a defense, that hasn’t been very good lately. If Garrett were eligible to come out last year, he would have been a Top-10 pick. He explodes out of his stance, can win with speed, power or hand moves and has a wicked spin move.</p> <p>Garrett played in a 4-3 at Texas A&M but is athletic enough to drop in coverage in the 3-4. Besides, Garrett won’t be doing too much dropping, he’ll be getting after the QB. This is just the shot in the arm the 49ers defense needs to get back to where it was a few years ago. </p>. OLB
