Jimmie might get you a sixth round pick.

Sounds about right.

If the Niners drafted Mac Jones, he’d be starting.  And they’d be better with him than Garrapolo (who let’s face it, isn’t very good). No question Jones is more NFL ready today - maybe then any of the first round picks.  Lance probably will be better long term. But will he be two years worth of first round picks better?  That is the question.  Especially given Niners will probably finish around 7-10.

Who are the NFC teams vying for the wild card spots (assume Arizona or LAR get one of them)?  Vikings?  New Orleans?  Who else?  That's where the 'Niners' hopes lie.  And we're not even at the halfway point yet.

I'm naturally a pessimist on my rooting interests, but I think things could set up nicely for a WC run and the team having some momentum heading into the playoffs.  It starts with naming Lance the starter and getting him comfortable. Jimmy can and still will be useful as Lance will definitely get dinged again with the way he plays, and Jimmy will have to come in and win a game or two (which he can do).  Also, Shanahan has to avoid the brain lock game management decisions - haven't had too many instances for that this season, but we might see some down the road, especially if things turn around a bit.

I wouldn't quite give up on the 'Niners just yet, and I say that fully expecting a tough division schedule.  We shall see.
