This, of course, isn’t an exact list–only Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch (and maybe Jed York and Paraag Marathe) know the order of the 49ers’ quarterback wish list and they’re not telling me.
This is a guess, an estimate, an attempt to look at the 49ers’ blank slate QB situation, peer into the minds of Shanahan and Lynch, and, given what we know or can reasonably extrapolate, try to place the available or almost-available names in some level of precedence.
I do this stuff to try to think along with the decision-makers, to give myself a baseline as the plot twists and the situation moves along…
And maybe to figure things out maybe a step or two behind the guys doing the actual evaluations.
