The San Francisco 49ers will get, theoretically, one of the 10 best players in the 2018 NFL Draft. That’s what it means to have a top 10 pick, and that’s what it means for the 49ers, who will pick either No. 9 or No. 10 overall in the first round. It doesn’t matter what trades happen before then — if they are comfortable with that many players, at least, they’ll be able to get somebody they want.
With Jimmy Garoppolo signed to a contract extension, the 49ers don’t need a quarterback. That’s significant, because around 90 percent of the draft buzz, especially in the top 10, is centered around quarterbacks.
