The drama about which position the 49ers would target for their first pick of the NFL draft was erased as soon as they traded three first-round picks and a third-rounder to move up to No. 3. The question then turned to which quarterback prospect Shanahan and general manager John Lynch will hitch themselves to with that pick. (AP Photo/Bill Kostroun, File)
