With 32 teams having started 70 different QB's this season so far because of injury or performance, having a reasonably competent back-up QB is essential to a good season, much less making the playoffs.
Niners were hella smart to pick up Sam Darnold even if it's just for this season, and smart for him to join the Niners and get some of the best QB coaching in the game.
With proper coaching and the right fit, lot of those first round 'busts' can go on to have lucrative careers as a number two. Mariota an example, making 5M this year.
