Not a single part of that is true. No, it would make zero sense. Especially when Cousins will be just good enough to win 6 games and put them on the 5 year quarterback carousel that ensures they never get a shot at a genuine superstar QB in the draft.
Cousins is the absolute worst thing they could do. They need to draft defense with that pick, continue to build with the expectation of being terrible again in '17 and then take their QB in the '18 draft.

Pocket passers typically don't peak until they're in their mid 30's, I don't see Cousins' age as an issue. If Shanny Jr. loves him as much as has been portrayed I could see him being pretty happy with getting the best 10 years of Cousins' career.
I wouldn't want Denver to do it, and I know that KC is sick and tired of trading for other teams QB's, but I could understand why the 49ers would want to do it.
