Me thinks it will take more than our first pick this season. It would probably take TWO first round picks. And while I think that's worth it for a supremely talented quarterback, I suspect Shanahan won't. He didn't even think Mahomes or Watson was worth ONE first round pick.

Yep you know a team will also want extra pick in this draft not just a deferred pick.
I know we would if we where the team trading back.

Swap 1sts, next years 1, offer a 2 and a player to move up. Dallas or LAC would probably take it.

Gonna be pissed off outta my mind if Shanahan passes on Zach Wilson. I don't think there is any other position in this draft I could pass up Wilson for!!! The only player that I'd draft over Wilson without even thinking about it is Trevor Lawrence of course. Ask this in three months and my answer will still be the same IDGAF about who's stock has risen during the Senior Bowl and Combine.

Wilson is pretty much perfect for this system.

Runs a lot of similar concepts at BYU. Shanahan just needs to let him cook instead of putting him on a leash like he's done with Jimmy, Mullens and Beathard. Hopefully Shanahan has learned his lesson that you need an actual difference maker at the QB position and not just someone to manage the offense and hand the ball off 30 times a game.

I mean those guys aren't on leashes, they're just avg to bad talents at the QB position. He's gotten the most out of all of them to whatever degree that it is.

One can dream... no way he lasts to 12. He might even go 2.

That's just silly dude.

You don't think it's possible Jacksonville chooses Wilson over Fields? It's a long shot at this point, sure, but not impossible. (of course, should they leave us Fields, that's not a loss haha)

Just like it's possible Wilson slides to 12.

Paxton Lynch was a sure top 5 pick by most accounts this time before his draft. Once the season is over and everyone gets into draft mode guys rise and some fall. We'll see what happens.

This year is very weird with some big talents opting out and people forgetting them a bit.

I mean if fields gets caught in a human tracking sting sure lol.

Fields is a stud. Him and Lawrence were both 5 star recruits coming out of Georgia. He's got the size, athletic ability, arm etc.

I hear what you're saying...but comparing lynch to fields isn't remotely close.

lol don't you start misreading what i said in the draft section now.

Was talking more about Wilson/Lance aka the guys who weren't considered studs at the top for multiple seasons now.

Yo I'm not trying to start a debate, I'm just saying Fields has been a top end talent since coming out of HS. 39 offers from every top school, him and Lawrence were neck and neck as the nations top QB and overall top recruit in the country.

Kid is a stud...I don't see Wilson or Lance over taking him at all. That was more my point. Lynch was never regarded like Fields has been.

Help me to fall in love with Wilson. I saw him play this past Saturday. Good but not heaven sent. He has a nice release. I think he's more athletic and probably not as melancholy but he reminded me of josh Rosen at UCLA.

Not trying to bash him but asking why is he so perfect?

Josh Rosen? Huh? Not even close to the same outside of being white lol.

Kid has plus + arm (I'd say better than Watson's). He's athletic, throws with anticipation and has very good vision, quick release very athletic.

He runs a lot of what we already do here as well as well.

Rosen threw a real pretty ball at UCLA. Natural thrower of the ball.

How athletic? Aaron Rodgers athletic?

Probably the only thing I didn't like is that he looked very small framed. 49ers have me terrified of injuries. We have too many every year.

Just compare him to Jimmy and you will see the light.

How can he pass on someone he won't even be in position for us to get? That's like being mad we "passed" on Patrick Peterson in 2011.
