Most people wouldn't consider Brock Purdy to be the 49ers' best player. But in an NFL re-draft, he absolutely would be the first 49ers player off the board. And he certainly was the first 49ers player taken in Chad Reuter's NFL mock draft.
It's an NFL mock draft, which means if every player were a free agent and there was a big draft to redistribute players around the NFL, who would get picked first? And which 49ers player would get picked first?
Most people wouldn't consider Brock Purdy to be the 49ers' best player. But in an NFL re-draft, he absolutely would be the first 49ers player off the board. And he certainly was the first 49ers player taken in Chad Reuter's NFL mock draft."It’s easy for me to envision head coach Sean Payton loving the mental and physical toughness Purdy has brought to the 49ers," wrote Reuter.It's interesting that Purdy got picked after Jalen Hurts and Jared Goff in this article.
It's also interesting that the first 14 picks in this article are quarterbacks. The first non quarterback who's drafted is Myles Garrett who goes to the Colts at pick no. 15. So Purdy officially is more valuable than the reigning Defensive Player of the Year. No wonder the 49ers will make Purdy the highest-paid player on the team and one of the highest-paid players in the league next year.Grant Cohn has covered the San Francisco 49ers daily since 2011. He spent the first nine years of his career with the Santa Rosa Press Democrat where he wrote the Inside the 49ers blog and covered famous coaches and athletes such as Jim Harbaugh, Colin Kaepernick and Patrick Willis. In 2012, Inside the 49ers won Sports Blog of the Year from the Peninsula Press Club.
