The 49ers traded for Colt Mccoy...
According to Jason Laconforas twitter..
Full McCoy trade details: McCoy and a 6th round pick to the 49ers, and a 5th and 7th to the Browns.

The 49ers had three options for their backup QB position this year...

1) A cheap QB that they trade for (McCoy)
2) Scott Tolzien (current back-up)
3) Spend a mid-round pick on a developmental QB

Frankly, I would rather they went with option 3, and grabbed someone like Matt Scott, or the kid from Miami (Ohio) in round 4-5...but it's not like any of those options are likely to see the field this season.

After seeing the specifics of the deal, the 49ers really didn't give up much of anything. They gave an "end of the 7th round" pick (#227), which is a snatch hair away from undrafted free agent territory, and they traded down 9 slots from the end of rd 5 (#164) to the beginning of round 6 (#173)

Eddie DeBartolo Jr used to leave more than that for a lunch tip...

Ok so they needed a backup.  Colt McCoy was their best option?  Or their Cheapest?  Or we're developing the guy so we can trade him later or what? 

If all you want is a backup, you can get Ryan Fitzpatrick and not give up any picks.

Not trading any picks and simply taking a quarterback in the late rounds probably costs less than anything else

Or SF drafted the guy, figures hey let him develop for a couple years we're giving up a low round pick for him and then wait for Buffalo or the Jets to give us a first or second round pick for him when our next quarterback turns out to be suckish.

That's why I'm curious as to the whole thing.
