Better than many of our other options. I wouldn't mind the take tat this point.
All these armchair scouts !

You are on a football forum lol.

I would be okay with drafting him, but only if he drops to the 4th or 5th. Which i dont think is gonna happen. Some team will like him and he will probably be a 2nd round pick.
Don't think the Niners are in need of a 3rd QB this coming year. I wouldn't be surprised if they trade or cut CJ (........sorry but this is business) this offseason and use the extra roster spot at another position of need. Hurts would be an intriguing option in the mid to late rounds if the Niners were looking for a developmental guy, but I just don't see it.

If we trade back and acquire an extra pick in the 3rd should we draft the JG successor? Hurts could be a good fit for the Shanny-rollout system.

(If this thread was created I apologize ahead of time, I couldn't find it.)

Even if Hurts were talented enough, we aren't thinking about Jimmy G's successor.
While I do not think we're even looking at the top prospects I will not be surprised at all if we draft a qb mid to late rounds. Beathard hasn't shown much and I think Mullens will fetch a decent contract whenever he is gone.
We already have a Jalen Hurd who is Hurt. Do we really need another one? Bwa ha ha...just kidding!
