QB Josh Rosen

The problem with that is the 49ers are not a QB away they have a lot of holes on the team. No reason to pay a QB $100 million and still be the Lions and lose. Probably best to sign free agents to fill the roster and draft Rosen.

So is this guy actually worth a top pick? Personally I'd rather go cousins and keep cj. Draft a QB in round 2 this year to compete with them and if need be spend a top pick down the road. Atleast cousins is proven and then patch up other holes through the draft/fa

Let's not act like we're paying him $100 million for one yr of football lol. Even if it's $20-25 million we still have $80-$90 million in cap space....that's a lot of cash.

We could trade that top end pick for a king's ransom that will give us a plethora of young prospects on cheap contracts.

If we want him, I don't feel we'll have to trade up to get him.

That really depends. If the season ended now, we won't even have the first draft pick . Browns and giants are ahead of us. i can see the combination of barkley and rosen going one and 2 between the 2 teams.

So This. We are incredibly unlucky. Look at when we could pick in Top 5. QBs not available when we needed it.

2017 - Niners Pick (2nd, trade down to 3rd for Thomas). First QB Taken - Trubisky (picked 2nd to Bears)
2005 - Niners Pick (1st). First QB - Alex Smith (Niners)
1999 - Niners Pick (3rd, trade down to Skins). First QB - Pennington

Meanwhile you take a look at the Colts and the years when they were Top 5. Two out of the last four times they drafted in the Top 5 they hit on Manning and Luck. The other two were Edgerrin James and Marshall Faulk. Not bad.

If I am the Niners and I am drafting top 5 with Rosen available, I pick him. I go QB regardless if we land Cousins.

if we get cousins it makes 0 sense to go qb with a top pick

If we have the top pick it makes no sense to give a 100 million dollar contract instead of drafting Rosen.

^^^^^ this

If the Giants get the first pick I would almost guarantee they will draft the kid or deal him for a kings ransom. It would be the perfect scenario to draft Rosen, let him sit a year behind Manning, and then have their franchise QB for the future.

IMO, there's only one quarterback option at the top of the draft, and it's the one that's not the splitting image of Blake Bortle's mechanics.

Darnold's mechanics are so lazy. Check out how he fades away as he throws this rather than stepping into it. Predictably a terrible throw pic.twitter.com/ClFXANBiD3

And yet in his last 3 games Rosen has 5 INTs (which includes a bad INT into double coverage in the last game).
