5. Shanahan has always coveted Kirk Cousins

If Atlanta releases him 49ers may sign Cousins and let Purdy go, or offer Purdy a reduced contract and let him fight for the starter's job. They might look for another Mr Irrelevant in the draft. Or a journeyman in free agency. They have one of the best quarterback coaches in the league, Brian Griese, should he remain on the coaching staff.

I think Brock is history, to be truthful. He's an adept QB when Shanahan's offense is hitting on all cylinders, but lacks, IMO, playmaking capabilities of the NFL's elite: Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, to name a few.

Is he worth the fat contract when so much of the team is in disarray? Even the best QBs play mediocre with an ineffective O-line.
