Mills has a strong arm and is pretty accurate, and appears to better than Costello but how good is he?  I am not QB expert and we don't have a lot of data points and may not get many more. The reason I ask is speculating whether will he come back next year. If he is viewed as an early round draft pick, I assume he will leave, but if NFL scouts have questions and it isn't clear that he is an early round pick, will he return?

On offense, the big questions are whether Sarell, Dalman, Wedington and Mills come back. Mills is most important out of that group, but we would certainly welcome all back.

On defense, I am encouraged by our young CBs. That should be the strength of our team next year.  Booker is the key guy that we need to return. I assume that the 5th year guys Robinson, Fox, Antoine and Schaffer won't return.  Hopefully Gabe Reid will return for a fifth year.

Nine starts. Not even a season. I'm skeptical for other reasons, though. He looks like the antithesis of the post-modern NFL QB. With proper tutelage, maybe. He'll never get it where he is today. And I am sure he's in regular contact with KJ.

Mills will play in the NFL if he stays healthy.  Big if.  He has the arm skills, which still is no 1.  He’s not immobile.  You are right that he’s only played a few games. There is no substitute for game reps.   Which is (along with his injuries) why he would not, imo, be above a last day draft pick if he comes out.

There are a lot of bad QB’s in the NFL.  The Niners have one mediocre QB (JG) a bad backup in Mullens.  And if Beathard cant beat him out, he’s very bad. So if he does come out and falls to late pick or FA, I hope he ends up at SF. He could thrive with Shanahan.
