49ers Select QB Brock Purdy as Mr Irrelevant

The 49ers selected Iowa State QB Brock Purdy with final pick of the 2022 NFL Draft. Purdy is this years Mr. Irrelevant.

Overview

Four-year starter who was never able to improve upon a stellar sophomore campaign. Purdy is a burly pocket quarterback who needs a play-action based offense where he can rely on timing over release quickness and arm strength. He can be a confident passer when he finds his rhythm, but throwing is more of a chore than a talent thanks to a labored release. Certain areas of the field will be off limits as he moves up to take on NFL coverage talent.
