I'm not suggesting that Mills (or Mond) are great long term solutions for finding a franchise QB.

I think we all know that our best shot at replacing Jimmy with a better long term answer is either trade or drafting one high. But there's a good chance that the 9ers don't do either. And if they stick with Jimmy they will need to replace CJ and Mullens with backups who might turn out to be more capable.

In that scenario I like Mills.

A loose, well-built passer, Mills shows the ability to scan, operate from various platforms and throw with touch/anticipation. He is one of the best middle-of-the-field passers in the draft, but he needs time to grow and eliminate the "what are you doing?" plays from his tape. Overall, Mills is still learning the throws he should and shouldn't make, but he has size and mobility and delivers a very catchable ball with the field-reading skills to develop into an NFL backup (and possibly more), although the health of his left knee is a strong concern.

Good article on the top 10 QB's in the draft.

I would rather go Slater and Mills later vs Mac Jones and OL later.

Agree beyond 100%! Slater is going to improve this team immediately.

I can go either way, really. Mac Jones, Dillon Radunz, Paulson Adebo, and Wyatt Hubert with our first four picks would be fantastic.

However, I would not be upset with Rashawn Slater, Greg Newsome, Ronnie Perkins, Davis Mills if we went this route.

I agree, I like Mac Jones for this system as well so we can go that route if need to.

I think it is time to be realistic and look for a dark horse that we will be able to draft.

I think this is our guy. Worth a day 3 pick if he's still there: solid pedigree, lots of upside, system fit

You're a Jones guy what makes Jones a top 10 dude and Mills a 3rd/4th rd guy?

If you have to ask this question then you haven't even taken Mac Jones seriously and have only been arguing traits.
