Mine was:

Congratulations, you have fulfilled your mandated and filled your depth chart:
1) Deshaun Watson
2) Matt Barkley
3) Christian Ponder

FA money spent: $9 million
Draft picks spent: R1 (#2 overall)

It's a new era in San Francisco -- Deshaun Watson has been anointed the starter from Day One. Matt Barkley may provide some semblance of competition in camp, but it's clear that you and the coaches are rooting for Watson to win out. That may work, because Watson's an experienced rookie, with three years of starting under his belt. He's sure to have some growing pains, but you're throwing him feet first to the fire and hoping he can survive.

Given the rookie starting, your backups make sense. Both Matt Barkley and Christian Ponder may be limited, but they're smart QBs with starting experience under their belts. Neither one will require much coaching, which should put all attention on Watson. There's no guarantee that he'll work out, but you've put him in a good situation here.

You've invested a lot in this QB position -- luring over an expensive (future backup) like Brian Hoyer, and drafting Deshaun Watson at #2.

All that said, people in the building feel like the investments were more than worth it! There's no doubt that your legacy will sink or swim with Watson, but you've set him up in a great position to succeed here. Both Hoyer and 3rd string Christian Ponder have starting experience, and can hold down the fort as long as Watson needs to get ready. Those vets won't need major reps (especially given Hoyer's familiarity with Shanahan), which should allow your coaching staff to devote as much time as they need toward Watson's growth.

You've done an excellent job nailing down your depth chart. Some day, you may watch with pride, as the NFL hands over the "Executive of the Year" trophy to -- John Lynch.
