I'm not hot on the idea of the Niners spending a lot of capital on bringing in a QB this year. No one that they'd bring in is likely to be worth the expenditure of capital that would have to be made, and the Niners' roster isn't good enough to warrant bringing in a second-tier QB (or worse) at the expense of leaving unfilled all of the other holes on the roster. I'd rather that the Niners work on stocking up draft picks for the 2018 draft which is supposed to be much better than this one.

They need to do what the browns did last year and accumulate like 20 picks

They definitely should not draft Watson. No sir. Let some other team take the greatest college player in the last 30 years.

Johnny football was a better qb then watson. Running qbs are overrated and usually fail in the nfl.

Reggie Bush Adrian Peterson Aj McCarron 2001 hurricanes and Pete carol usc?

Nah build an o line and then get your qb. Raiders showed the way back from the abyss.

Is Watson still being graded as a first round pick?

You might be right about going for O-lineman first. But you are wrong about every player you listed. What Watson did in the last 3 games of the last 2 seasons is unparalleled. AJ McCarron? Really?

I like the idea of getting an O-line before getting a QB. The Niners already have a decent O-line. What they really need is to rebuild the middle of the defense. Their linebacker corps is particularly bad right now. Presuming that they can't get Myles Jarrett, I'd like to see the Niners get a couple stud ILBs with their early draft picks and then consider grabbing a QB with fourth round pick or so.

Cam Newton is a better fit for your list. Watson is a better passer but Cam just ran people over and was pretty much on another level his Heisman year

Cam probably had the best single season of anyone I've seen, but Watson had 2 disgusting years. Jameis Winston probably is another candidate for "had one really good year" but not at Cam's level.

Game managers don't get any respect. Johnny football took broken plays and scored tds ran almost as good as players who wanted to run and broke records that shouldn't break. But what people forget about Johnny second game against Bama is aj was right there with him.

Mcarron doesn't have the talent that luck or newton show but he does much more with what little he has then others. His stats for the game he got in cinnci is pretty good and would be q smart pickup for a team like the Browns

Watson was good in his last few games but I never saw the kind of game breaking performance like other college greats of the last 30 years.

The big 3 QB's have all had at least one big draft expert throw a second round grade on their talent but say they'll get drafted higher than that because teams always reach for QB's. Which seems pretty accurate tbh.

There's a mock draft out that has the Patriots trading Jimmy G to the Browns for a 1st round pick and they look to pick up the DE from Tennessee.

BB would trade down every time but after the last few years that market might have dried up.

Yeah BB abused the fact that teams tended to undervalue lower round picks for years, but other teams have caught on so hes on to the next market inefficiency which is scrappy white receivers.

Still think BB is gonna get something like 3 2nds for Jimmy G. Browns won't give up #1 and their other 1st rounders they need because they need to fill a lot of holes. BB also gets his picks that will cost less overall.

Pats just resigned Glenn Gronkowski which may be (he was practice squad most this year) a bad sign for them resigning James Develin who was possibly the best FB this year with a couple others falling off.

jesus christ some dumbass skins fans want us to trade Cousins to the 49ers for picks and then trade the picks for Jimmy G. i don't even understand the logic behind this
