Ford's edge spot is really the only position in which a rookie might start. Excepting injury, A QB or CB drafted at 12 might not even see the field for at least a year. And if Ford is healthy (yeah, I know that's a big if) then that spot isn't open either.
Yall are acting like we're the Jets or something.

I agree with All22 in that Kyle isn't going to draft a QB at #12 and bench him. To me that's a ton of draft capital warming the bench when we can have a young center or edge rusher to help us win games at the #12 spot in 2021.
Having said that, I can see Kyle drafting a rookie QB in the mid to later rounds to add competition for that 3rd string QB position, assuming Rosen is the 2nd string QB. They can always pick a 1st round QB *next year* if Jimmy stinks it up-- ShanaLynch just signed their 3 year+ extension this past year. They have a bit of time to get the QB position right.
No center in this draft or very few others is going to go #12. No center has been drafted in the top 12 in the last 20 years...talk about wasted draft capital. Mack is starting at C this year.....no brainer. Pouncey was drafted at #15, he was highest one since 2000. No EDGE is going top 12 this year either, 49ers could have their pick of any even with a trade down.
