Only the true fans would root for the chiefs to win and risk missing out on such talent. If Cassel sucks, then he will have no trade value and Sanchez will be thrown in. No way Sanchez comes in and starts over Cassel. Brady (not third overall) fell into the pats laps and therefore so did the bledsoe trade. 49ers had an old, legendary QB and gave up a 2nd and 4th...not the third overall....Montana was not 26. Essentially you want to use the 1st and 2nd pick on a QB....****ing reeruned...
So your biggest hope while picking 3rd overall is to have both QBs...then Cassel plays well for two years...gets hurt...Sanchez plays well....and trade Sanchez for late first/early second? That's asking a lot.

The 49ers got their rush backer in round 1, upgraded their WR corps in round 2 and they continue to build a strong D in round 3. Walt Harris is old. This guy can come in, play nickel and then eventually take over the starting CB spot. Like former teammate Brandon Flowers, Harris ran a poor 40 at the combine but this guy has outstanding ball skills and is a gamer.

The 49ers select Victor "Macho" Harris, CB, Virginia Tech.

Or, if Cassel plays OK to good, and it looks like Stafford/Sanchez are PB material, since we own Cassel's rights for two years, as a RFA (due to CBA expiration), we can put a 1st and third round claim on him and get more in return for him if we don't match anyone else who signs him to an offer sheet.

So, if you give me the option of flipping Matt Cassel to some other team who will only have to pay him 2.5 million next year for a 1st and third when we paid a second for him, and I get a year to season Stafford/Sanchez, I do that 1 billion times out of 10.

But, since the Hooties of the world only think in terms of today, they'll bash the pick.

how are Sanchez/Stafford gonna look PB material while riding the bench? How is Cassel gonna get 1st and 3rd value for playing OK to good?
