The San Francisco 49ers are 4-4 through their first eight games, good enough to currently be in first place in the NFC West. 4-4 is not the start San Francisco expected, however, many pegged them as favorites to return to the Super Bowl.
Looking ahead, San Francisco could completely change the direction of their entire franchise.
“They Have Multiple Day 2 Picks” 49ers Get Massive Trade Update
According to journalist Sean Deveney:
Purdy still ranks No. 5 in quarterback grade at Pro Football Focus this season, at 83.2, he has put up two duds in his last four outings, and his quarterback rating (93.7) has slipped to 16th in the NFL. The injuries that have devastated the 49ers offense have been a chief cause for the drop, but Purdy led the NFL in rating last year (113.0).
If the 49ers see Purdy as having regressed to being just about an average quarterback, they might pass on giving him the big money deal so many are expecting, and instead turn to getting value out of the draft.
That’s the scenario ESPN looked at in its article this week titled, “2025 NFL draft: Team fits for 10 college football prospects,” which foresees the 49ers moving on from Purdy and instead adding Quinn Ewers from Texas.
“The 49ers could target the 6-foot-2, 210-pound Ewers late in the first round or even move up in the second — they have multiple Day 2 picks — to get him.
Ewers has been inconsistent but would be arguably the most purely talented passer Kyle Shanahan has had since taking over as the 49ers’ coach in 2017.”
Here is a look at Ewer’s collegiate stats:
