Knowing what we know now, who would have the Niners drafted if ARI had picked Bosa #1? | Page 2

It's interesting now in hindsight to see how much Lynch & Shanny were willing to pay to move up for a QB this year. Makes me wonder who their next choice was in 2019 if Bosa had been taken at #1 by Arizona. Could they have taken Kyler Murray or some other QB at #2 overall? Would have they gone with Quinnen Williams as the next best pass rusher? Was the decision to move up to get a QB this year only driven by the injuries that Garappolo sustained in the 2019 season? My guess is they would have gone for Quinnen Williams, but I can't help but wonder if they could have already been in the market for QB in 2019 if the opportunity for Bosa was not there.

yeah, I guess my timeline is a little messed up because Jimmy was limping through 2020 but pretty healthy in 2019. Though he was just coming off of an ACL so who knows what the Shanny and Lynch considered his health to be at that draft in 2019.

Pretty much. Which makes this thread useless. The answer is QW.

Oh For sure Quinnen. But very glad its hypothetical. Bosa is better for what we need.
