I have been feeling the same way. Let's assume the best case scenario for the people that want to get a rookie QB. You'd have to assume that the 49ers are bad enough this year to get a top three or so spot in the draft. Maybe that's likely. But if the 49ers are actually in a position like that, and they can get Cousins, then they are in a position to sell that very high draft pick to another team for a boatload of picks. Last year, Trubisky wasn't really worth it, and they still got a nice amount of picks for going back a single spot. If they have Darnold or Rosen or Allen sitting there this year, they could get a ransom for that pick, and because they took Cousins, they still have a great option at QB. And one that is going to be playing at his highest potential at day one, while another guy (Beathard or a draft pick or both) are learning underneath him. To me, you can't beat that option. We've got holes at probably both guard spots, center, receiver, and corner. You can fill most of those holes with high draft picks in year one with a scenario like that. All of them, and then some in two years.
very very good. you are a good citizen and poster


. he is right that the o line needs major help and who knows if staley will be around next year
