No. 6: Jerod Evans, Virginia Tech

Projected Round: 4th-6th

Virginia Tech’s Jerod Evans is a true dual-threat quarterback.

In only one season for the Hokies, Evans passed for 3,546 yards, 29 touchdowns, eight interceptions, and completed 63.5 percent of his passes.

Evans added 846 yards and 12 touchdowns on the ground.

At 6-foot-3 and 230 pounds, Evans has the size to be an NFL quarterback.

Evans has a strong arm and the ability to throw the deep ball well. He is also good in the quick game due to good accuracy and quick release.

Evans will have to learn how to play in a pro-style offense, since Virginia Tech ran a spread offense.

If the Niners haven’t taken a quarterback in the middle to late rounds, Evans would be the guy to get.
