San Francisco 49ers: Chip Kelly will get his franchise quarterback

Don’t do it. Don’t even think about it. Stay in the NFL for at least a few more years to groom the new franchise quarterback you are sure to get this offseason. The San Francisco 49ers are an atrocious 1-9 and will be picking in the top three of the 2017 NFL Draft.

This will give 49ers head coach Chip Kelly the opportunity to draft the franchise quarterback of his choosing. He can go with either Kizer, Trubisky, or Watson and it will be better than the Blaine Gabbert/Colin Kaepernick clown show Kelly has had to deal with in 2016.

Sure, San Francisco could try to land an also-ran quarterback in 2017 NFL free agency, but would going after a supreme NFL prospect from the college ranks be the right course of action? Yes, but we’ve seen the 49ers make one bad personnel move after another in the last few seasons.

The 49ers are a week or so away from being mathematically eliminated from NFC Playoff contention. It’s on to the NFL Draft. 49ers fans should be thankful for having at least the opportunity to upgrade the quarterback position in the 2017 NFL Draft.
