With the 2nd pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers select

Solomon Thomas - DE - Stanford

While the temptation to go QB is strong here, any QB in this draft would be a reach at #2.

BOTTOM LINE Explosive defender who combines strength, quickness, and a muscle-car motor to drive him around the field making play after play. Has the hands and feet to be a quick-win specialist and the size to fit as a 4-3 or 3-4 defensive end who can reduce inside for pass-rush downs. He has all the athletic traits to become a high-impact player and possesses more than enough skill and talent to believe he will continue to elevate his game as a pro. Thomas has the potential to become the best defender from this draft class and a future all-pro.
