I need to start listening to this Pat Jones guy. He seems like a fountain of information.

Which Shanahan are you talking about?

I haven't heard anything specific about Dalton. But from what I've gathered, I think right one of the scenarios below is what could likely happen (subject to change 10k times between now and draft day):

A. Stay at 10 and take Robert Quinn, and stay at 41 and take Locker, Ponder, , Kaepernick, or Dalton (in that order, depending on who's available)

Stay at 10 and take Quinn, and trade up into the mid to late 1st to take one of the QBs (this is hard without being able to trade players)

Trade down in the 1st and take one of the QBs and add a couple of 2nd rounders.

Something tells me they're not going QB at 10 because they don't think there's a huge gap among them and they feel they can get one later. I've heard also they've shown interest in Stanzi and Greg McElroy, but I think those are 4th rounders at best. And I don't know how strong the interest really is.

But I'm, as of now, sticking to my belief that at #10 if we hold on that pick we'll be calling Robert Quinn's name. After that , somewhere we'll find a QB before the beginning of round 3.
