Send Jimmy to the Pats for one of their 2nd rounders and let's go all in.
Sell it as Zach is the future and Jimmy can't stay healthy.
If it blows up in your face everyone will get fired but hopefully they'll get at least two years, and by then Zach should be money. We'd then have two studs at premium positions (Inc Bosa) on rookie deals and can re-sign everyone we want.

If they can get a 2nd for Jimmy on top of getting wilson it would be a homerun play IMO. Grab Mack in FA. Go get a vet EDGE rusher, keep TW, keep Verrett, grab another CB in FA. Go get a CB/IOL with that Jimmy comp (maybe move down a little to get some more picks). Still have a 4th, 3 5th and some late day 3 picks to add depth and develop at WR/EDGE/OL/CB.
QB of the future on a rookie deal...all your foundational guys under contract for a couple yrs. SF has shown then can find talent outside of the top 50. Money to work with for the next 5 yrs....YES PLEASE.
This is the way
That's a lot to give up for a guy who's nowhere near a sure bet. He's got all the physical tools but he makes a lot of bad choices too.
You might get a couple years down the line and realize you closed a championship window by trading away a handful of high draft picks for another Drew Lock. Better be damn sure of what you're getting if you make that kind of move or else you end up being remembered for that move forever, in a bad way.
This is where I was until very recently, I think Zach Wilson is a great prospect, but he's still a prospect. The reason I've learnt this way is that I'm fairly sure Kyle wants to upgrade from Jimmy, and if you don't make an aggressive move now you may be left in desperation mode soon.
I went back thought 40 or 50 pages to check for this video and didn't see. Hopefully I didn't just miss it.
Either way. J.T. O'Sullivan (yeah, same one) does a really good job of breaking down QBs on his YouTube channel. You can see that Wilson has a lot to be excited about but there are also times when he just doesn't recognize (or understand) how a defense is designed and what's going to happen. There are times when he misses reads or doesn't get through progressions. Times when he rushes things because he feels pressure that really isn't there yet. Times when he put his receivers in really bad spots. And times when he tries to do some pretty boneheaded things, like no-look passes.
Whoever gets him is going to have to break all of those habits and instincts without also breaking the gunslinger kind of mindset that let's him take advantage of some of those tools he has. That's not going to be easy. I see a lot of opportunity for failure and a sweet spot where he's an elite NFL QB. But some of the things in this video, if he tried on Sunday would be a disaster.
Misses reads on a team that plays a soft schedule in an offense where he rarely see's any pressure.
He has physical tools to be excited about but he is perhaps the biggest boom or bust QB in this draft.
