Nick Mullens 49ers Jersey , secure Nick Bosa in recent CBS Sports mock draft There’s a lot of football to play for 2018, but it’s probably not off base to suggest the San Francisco 49ers will not be making the playoffs or even picking late in the first round. It’s a safe assumption they will be picking in the top-10, maybe the top-five. CBS Sports’ Chris Trapasso put together an early 2019 mock draft and has the 49ers picking first and taking none other than Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa. The 49ers defense has had some issues, but the largest one has been getting to the quarterback.Sacks may not be a priority, but the line lacks simple pressure, and Cassius Marsh isn’t going to give the consistency people hope for. DeForest Buckner needs someone to take the double and triple teams off him if he is going to be effective and Solomon Thomas is better as a run stuffer than someone to chase a signal caller. The run defense has improved since the Chip Kelly era, but they still have things to improve. There’s no absolutes with draft picks. Solomon Thomas (2017 first rounder) isn’t a bust, but he’s been a bit disappointing in some aspects while Mike McGlinchey (2018 first rounder) has become invaluable. This is assuming the 49ers pick number 1. There’s a lot of football left to be played. Fooch already suggested the New York Giants may beat the 49ers to the punch, and while the Giants may (and should) take a quarterback Quarterback Nick Mullens Jersey , they open up a nice spot for someone to trade and leapfrog over the 49ers to secure Bosa. If the 49ers pick outside of the top-five, it’s a safe bet Bosa won’t be available, if not from a pick, a team trades for the chance to take him. The San Francisco 49ers face a game-time decision at the quarterback position. C.J. Beathard suffered a wrist injury in the second quarter of the 49ers Week 8 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. He finished out the game, but is currently struggling to hold a football, so he is sitting out the team’s Tuesday walkthrough. Kyle Shanahan said Beathard is likely a game day decision.Beathard met with the media after Shanahan and said he is hopeful he can play on Thursday. He said he “kinda messed up” his thumb and wrist, but neither is broken.If Beathard cannot play on Thursday, backup Nick Mullens would get the start and Tom Savage would serve as his backup. Mullens has been active but not played each of the past five weeks since Jimmy Garoppolo went down with his torn ACL. He spent all last season on the practice squad, which gives him a little over a year and a half learning Kyle Shanahan’s system.Shanahan said that if Savage ever had to enter the game in place of Mullens Nick Mullens Jersey , the playbook would be pared down significantly. The 49ers first signed Savage on October 16th. He was released that same week, but then brought back when Adrian Colbert went on injured reserve. So basically, he has two weeks of playbook study under his belt.All that being said, I expect Beathard to play on Thursday. We’ll find out for sure with the wrist injury, but it would be slightly surprising to me if he did not play. That’s not to say I don’t want to see Mullens out there. Given the state of the season, the masochist in me wants to see it.
