The San Francisco 49ers moved up to No. 3 in this year’s draft to presumably select their quarterback of the future.

The 17 previous selections are a mixed bag with some Hall of Famers, colossal busts and everything in between.
Here’s a quick look at every signal caller ever drafted No. 3 overall.
