Question

The 49ers on Friday traded for the 3rd pick of the draft, putting themselves in position to select a quarterback. Since the merger in 1970, who are the only other two quarterbacks San Francisco has chosen with first-round picks?

Answer

Alex Smith and Jim Druckenmiller. Smith was the No. 1 overall pick in 2005. The 49ers chose Druckenmiller 26th in 1997. While the question included the parameter of 1970, the 49ers also selected a quarterback with the 3rd pick of the 1967 draft -- Steve Spurrier. That was first year the NFL and AFL held a combined draft.
