29. C.J. Beathard (LW: 29)

Beathard has shown something as a backup for the 49ers. He’s capable of winning some games and he can even play well within Kyle Shanahan’s offense. He’s not higher on the list because he simply doesn’t bring any upside.

28. Josh Rosen (LW: 31)

Rosen is showing some moxie in Arizona. Against the Vikings, the Cardinals lost but watched as their rookie quarterback went 21-of-31 while playing with an overwhelmed offensive line. Look, things aren’t going to be pretty for Rosen this season statistically, but he’s shown some terrific tools.

27. Case Keenum (LW: 28)

Here’s all you need to know about the Keenum Experience. After playing horribly (both he and the Broncos collectively) in the first half, backup quarterback Chad Kelly came out for the final play of the second quarter to take a kneel down while Keenum was getting evaluated for a potential concussion. The crowd went insane, getting up on its feet. Enough said.

26. Marcus Mariota (LW: 25)

Mariota was sacked more times (11) against the Ravens than he hit completions (10). At some point, the label of bust is going to apply here, and it’s fair to say we’ve reached that juncture. Mariota does nothing particularly well outside of protect the ball within the red zone.
