The 49ers selected Beathard in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft, 104th overall.
There's a good chance that this winds up one of the strangest picks of this draft. Beathard (6-foot-2, 219 pounds) has some arm and some athleticism to him, and he's certainly tough for playing hurt much of the last two years, but the production all but rules him out as a viable starting quarterback prospect. He completed just 56.5 percent of his passes and averaged just 6.4 yards per attempt in 2016. It's hard to imagine a good argument for drafting Beathard over the likes of Jerod Evans, Nathan Peterman or Joshua Dobbs.
