The Facts: In predicting the 49ers' top offseason priority, ESPN.com's Nick Wagoner believes a total makeover of the quarterback depth chart is coming.
Diehards Line:Only Colin Kaepernick is under contract for 2017, and he has the ability to opt out before the new league year begins, an option he's expected to exercise. With a new coach -- Kyle Shanahan will reportedly get the nod --and general manager on the way in, it's entirely possible the Niners will look elsewhere for a bridge quarterback, or find a way to land a franchise signal-caller of their own and look to the draft to add another prospect or two to develop. With Shanahan coming in as the HC, don't be surprised if Kirk Cousin's name isn't included in that QB chatter for the Niners.
