49ers' Kyle Shanahan "Really Liked Sam Darnold"

Move The Sticks Podcast dropped some "intel" that I hadn't heard before.

Bucky Brooks and Daniel Jeremiah of Move The Sticks podcast dropped some interesting context to the New York Jets situation that I was not aware of. 

Both of these guys are two of the most connected media scouts that cover the NFL so I trust when they say something like this over the airwaves. Apparently it is known information that Kyle Shanahan holds former USC QB in high regard. 

With the obvious connection between the Jets and 49ers, could there be a path for the former top 5 pick in Darnold find his way back to the West Coast? 

With tons of cap space and news dropping today of the Jets being Deshaun Watson's #1 landing spot, Robert Saleh finds himself with a ton of leverage heading into the draft.
