No. 4: With the first overall selection of Kyler Murray, the 49ers have a wide-open draft board

The announcement that Oklahoma quarterback and 2018 Heisman Trophy winner, Kyler Murray,will be entering the NFL Draft has gotten the attention of many quarterback-hungry teams.

An ideal situation for the 49ers. Ohio State EDGE Nick Bosa is the best available player and plays at a position of need.
