49ers

49ers HC Kyle Shanahan mentioned that third-round QB C.J. Beathard reminds him of a lot of Kirk Cousins.

“He processes the game so well,” Shanahan said, via Peter King of TheMMQB.com. “Tough as s—. Got a chance. He reminds me a lot of Kirk Cousins.”

In fact, Beathard was the “only quarterback (coach Kyle) Shanahan wanted in this draft.”

Cardinals

• Matt Maiocco spoke to Cardinals VP of player personnel Terry McDonough, who mentioned that he recently agreed to a four-year extension with Arizona.

Cowboys

• Ian Rapoport’s understanding regarding the Cowboys possibly trading CB Orlando Scandrick is that they were willing to move him “for the right price.”
• According to Rapoport, Dallas was willing to trade him for a third-round pick, but after Day 2 of the draft ended, it essentially closed the door on a potential deal.
• Rapoport wonders if the Cowboys may now be willing to do something regarding Scandrick’s contract.
