Congratulations, you have fulfilled your mandated and filled your depth chart:

1) Jimmy Garoppolo

2) Christian Ponder

3) C.J. Beathard

FA money spent: $31 million

Draft picks spent: R1 (#2 overall), R2, R4

Coach Kyle Shanahan and the entire front office are concerned that you gave up too much for Jimmy Garoppolo. He may turn out to be a solid starter, but there's no guarantee of that.

Fortunately, the rest of your depth chart protects you well. Christian Ponder may be hated by NFL fans, but he's an experienced veteran who can fill in as a starter in the case of emergency.

C.J. Beathard is also in a good situation for himself here, with two veterans taking the pressure off him. He should develop into a high-level backup for you. If Garoppolo works out, Jimmy G. and C.J. may be locking down your depth chart for the next ten years. Overall, you've done a solid job with this depth chart, dinged somewhat for the natural risk of the Garoppolo deal.

grade: B
