If the 49ers had drafted QB Patrick Mahomes in 2017 instead of DL Solomon Thomas, Shanahan and Lynch would have likely led the team to multiple Super Bowl wins by now. But the 49ers admittedly didn't even scout Mahomes. It just goes to show how hard it is to predict which college players will be stars in the NFL.
Mahomes has already won three Super Bowls and played in a fourth. He will someday land in Canton, possibly being regarded as the best quarterback to ever play. Thomas, meanwhile, is no longer with the 49ers.
