Kyler Murray, QB, Oklahoma

Murray left a pro baseball career behind (for now, at least) to pursue the NFL, which says everything you need to know about his athletic gifts.

He has both a rocket arm and jet-propelled legs, a devastating combination that helped him dismantle defenders en route to winning the Heisman Trophy this past season. He might not be the most physically imposing prospect you'll find, but go check the tape—he's electric.

Like, passing for 4,361 yards, rushing for 1,001 yards and totaling 54 touchdowns electric.

The Cardinals lost a league-worst 13 games last season. No one is more in need of that kind of electricity, and all due respect to 2018 first-rounder Josh Rosen, but he's not providing that. New Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury recruited Murray in high school, and this long-awaited partnership will soon finally come to fruition.

Nick Bosa, DE, Ohio State

You know all those draft debates about whether teams should choose the best player available or use their selections to address areas of need? Well, in an ideal world, teams do both in the same selection.

It seems like the 49ers should have that option if Murray indeed goes No. 1.

"Edge is a glaring need for San Francisco, and there's a good chance the best pass-rusher—and player overall—in Bosa will be on the board at No. 2," ESPN.com's Todd McShay wrote.

Bosa, the younger brother of standout Chargers rusher Joey, collected 29 tackles for loss and 17.5 sacks over 29 games with the Buckeyes. The 49ers had just 37 sacks as a team last season (tied for 22nd), 12 of which came from interior star DeForest Buckner. As long as Bosa is on the board, this selection feels like the round's biggest lock.

Josh Allen, DE/OLB, Kentucky

Think about how much talent evaluators like Bosa. Now, consider this—Allen essentially matched Bosa's career contributions in a single season. Allen lived in opponents' backfields throughout the 2018 campaign, tallying 21.5 tackles for loss and 17.0 sacks in 13 games.

Those numbers pop no matter who is drooling over them. But they should look especially enticing to the Jets, who, like the 49ers, are in dire need for an impact pass-rusher.

"Their DEs and OLBs beat their blocks within 2.5 seconds 18 percent of the time last season, per ESPN's Pass-Rush Win Rate using NFL Next Gen Stats—23rd among all teams," ESPN.com's Rich Cimini wrote. "The Jets haven't had a player with double-digit sacks since Mo Wilkerson in 2015."

The Jets could consider Quinnen Williams or Ed Oliver at No. 3, but Allen's pass-rushing potential is probably too great to pass up.
