Anyways there's no reason for the 49ers to worry about keeping it a secret. The top 2 picks are already locked in. They clearly do want to keep it a secret.

Ethan in Cleveland Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I think it will be Lance. They will keep Jimmy G for another year and let Lance develop. Mac Jones will be the guy that falls to the Steelers in the late 20's. The big question is what do the Falcons do at 4? Do they draft QB, trade out, or take Pitts.

Obviously Shanahan hasn't told him for sure but Simms knows how he thinks about the game. Shahanan almost won a Super Bowl with Matt Ryan. If he sees Mac Jones having that potential it makes sense. Chris Cooley, ex WFT tight end is a friend of Kyle Shanahan and he thinks they are taking Mac Jones as well. 1 hour ago, DJB said: Fields. At no point at all have i ever believed the Mac Jones talk. You simply don't trade that draft capital for the concensus 4th rated QB. The Bills did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were several mocks that had Darnold or Rosen going #1 overall. There were others that saw Mayfield fall to 4th taken. Some folks thought the Jets would take Allen and even others thought the Broncos could be in the mix for Allen as the #3 QB taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more that they haven't made a 100% final decision yet. Obviously they're doing their due diligence with the pro days and all that. They have no need for a smoke screen. There's zero chance of another team jumping them. Simms is admittedly a little biased because he has Mac Jones as his 3rd ranked QB and isn't a big fan of Fields. But there's other buzz besides what he's saying that the 49ers like Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbitmic Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 San Francisco already has Mac Jones, his name is Jimmy Garropolo, why use up all of that draft capital to draft a clone ? I'm guessing they'll go with the guy JA has given a pep talk to, Trey Lance. If they go that way I can see Fields going #4 to Atlanta and Mac Jones going to the patriots, hopefully at #5. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of guys saying a lot of things. Joe Thomas played for Kyle and he thinks he’s taking Fields. I think Atlanta leaked that the Niners are taking jones to try to drum up interest in the 4th pick for fields/lance. I just don’t think that most teams really believe it. The Niners also have a vested interest in ensuring that the Jets stick with Wilson and don’t decide to take their guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Shanny’s presser before they played the Bills this year. He said something like “we really liked Josh Allen in the draft that year. But we already had jimmy.” He sounded like he got socks for Christmas. Edited April 19, 2021 by YoloinOhio 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought fields was the choice but Mike Lombardi says Fields won’t be the pick. He could be wrong, but I think they go with Lance. they will not draft a weapon for jimmy g.

Some folks thought the Jets would take Allen and even others thought the Broncos could be in the mix for Allen as the #3 QB taken. Cooley's comments come from: a) playing in a Shanahan system; B) analyzing Jones's tape and considering him the best fit for the system Shanahan runs. If you want to go by every mock draft in terms of what constitutes "consensus" go for it and good luck to ya. Mock drafts do not reflect the diversity of opinions individual teams exhibit in how they rank players. Take mocks with a grain of salt. By draft night Mayfield was a clear #1, the Jets traded up early for Darnold because they were quite sure Mayfield was 1 and they were ok with Darnold. If not #1, the Jets clearly saw him as an ok #2. Even as the #3 QB, the Bills traded a LOT of draft capital to get Allen. As did the 49ers to get the #3 QB as they determine it.

Logic Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 It’s gonna be Justin Fields. Outside chance that it’s Trey Lance. No chance it’s Mac Jones. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wppete Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 No question it will be Mac Jones. The tapes doesn’t lie. Would be shocked if it wasn’t... trey Lance would be a distant option #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I’m just absolutely not buying the Mac Jones thing. No way they gave up that much capital for Jones. It has all the makings of a heavily pumped smokescreen, similar to how many outlets insisted the Dolphins were taking Herbert in the week leading up to draft day last year. Its Fields or Lance. Has to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance looks like he could be a great prospect, might take some time. I have not seen him play but looks to have elite traits. I think he’s the “incomplete evaluation” that shanahan alluded to in the post-trade presser. Seems like he wasn’t originally in their top 3 but is getting John Beck involved late to compare him to fields. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
