San Francisco 49ers: After raiding the open market for free-agent help, Shanahan and newbie GM John Lynch will continue to rebuild a roster that offered less hope last season than even the Browns' did. From the start, Shanahan has preached long-term patience at quarterback. Waiting on Kirk Cousins to leave Washington next offseason is not guaranteed to pay off. While we don't expect the Niners to add a passer with the No. 2 overall pick in this year's draft, they're all but certain to take a chance soon after. Lynch has spent time with everyone from Mitchell Trubisky and Deshaun Watson to DeShone Kizer and Patrick Mahomes. Don't be surprised if Hoyer -- again -- operates as a placeholder.
