When the 49ers took Beathard, their quarterback situation was pretty bleak. Moving up in the third round to take a QB made a little sense when San Francisco did it. The Beathard selection was surprising though. After a less-than-stellar career at Iowa, Beathard took over the 49ers’ starting gig midway through Week 6 of his rookie season. He started the next five games with one win before giving way to Jimmy Garoppolo, who was acquired in a midseason trade. Beathard started the five games after Garoppolo tore his ACL in 2018, didn’t win any of them, and lost the starting job to Nick Mullens. Beathard has a career completion rate of 57.3 percent with 12 touchdowns and 13 interceptions to go with a 1-9 record as a starter.
