00:00 The 49ers have just re-signed backup quarterback Brandon Allen, according to the NFL Network.
00:06 I interpret this to mean that the Niners will not re-sign backup quarterback Sam Darnold.
00:11 I don't know, but it seems like they made Brandon Allen their priority,
00:14 because he's a pure backup quarterback.
00:20 A guy who doesn't seem to have any aspirations to play,
00:22 a guy who's really comfortable standing on the sideline and holding a clipboard.
00:28 That's his skill set, no offense.
00:30 Sam Darnold came to the 49ers because he wanted to play.
00:33 He thought maybe Brock Purdy would miss part of the year as he recovered from elbow surgery.
00:40 The Niners thought that might happen as well.
00:42 Didn't happen. Brock Purdy was healthy, played great.
00:45 Darnold probably going to go elsewhere, anywhere else where he can play.
00:48 So, Brandon Allen in, maybe Sam Darnold out.
00:51 Brock Purdy still here. Are the Niners out of the quarterback market?
00:54 I don't think so.
00:56 Because Brandon Allen, I mean, he's a great presence in the quarterback room,
01:01 as Ian Rappaport put it in his tweet, but he's not really a great quarterback.
01:06 And if Brock Purdy were to get hurt at any point,
01:08 heaven forbid, Niners aren't great at protecting their quarterback.
01:13 You wouldn't exactly want Brandon Allen playing much, if at all.
01:18 So, I'm thinking the Niners are going to draft a quarterback this year.
01:22 Not in round one or round two or even round three.
01:26 Someone in round seven, like Brock Purdy.
01:28 Someone who threw a lot of passes in college, like Brock Purdy.
01:32 Someone who played in some pro-style concepts in college, like Brock Purdy.
01:38 Someone who can run around a little bit, like Brock Purdy.
01:43 I'm no draft expert, but Keaton Slovis, who went to USC and then Pitt and then BYU.
01:51 I watched two minutes of his highlights and looked at his stats and I thought,
01:54 yeah, that's the guy the Niners are going to take in round seven.
01:58 Watch his highlights at BYU.
02:00 Play action, turns his back to the defense, can throw rolling right,
02:02 can throw rolling left, ran a 4-5-5 at the combine.
02:07 Will be available in round seven?
02:10 Threw like 1,500 passes in college.
02:12 Yeah, that seems like the kind of quarterback the 49ers would take a chance on late.
02:17 Not really much of a chance.
02:19 That's my prognostication here on what the Niners are going to do at quarterback.
02:22 Again, Brandon Allen is back for what he can do in the meeting room.
