The 49ers are widely expected to take a quarterback with the third pick in the NFL draft putting Jimmy Garoppolo's future with the team in doubt.
The 49ers are widely expected to take a quarterback with the third pick in Thursday's NFL draft, though who exactly their selection will be, remains in question.
Whoever they take, however, will likely still enter next season in the same quarterback room with current starter Jimmy Garoppolo.
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the team has no plans to trade Garoppolo prior to the draft unless the value "overwhelms them." According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, multiple teams are expected to contact San Francisco on Thursday about the availability of Garoppolo, but as of Thursday morning, the chances of him being traded are "remote," in the words of one of Schefter's sources.

When asked earlier this week if Garoppolo would be on the team's roster following the draft, head coach Kyle Shanahan took a dark turn.
"I can't guarantee that anybody in the world will be alive Sunday, so I can't guarantee who will be on our roster on Sunday," he said. "So that goes for all of us."
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero said Thursday that among the teams who could contact San Francisco, the Patriots remain one logical choice. Garoppolo began his career in New England before being traded to the 49ers during the 2017 season.
Garoppolo currently has a no-trade clause in his contract, potentially limiting suitors who might otherwise be interested in the veteran quarterback.
The draft gets underway at 8 p.m. ET on Thursday night.
