Adam Schefter Say Niners Will Take Mac Jones

[Phunnypharm]

I mentioned the same thought on Carolina in another thread. I think they made a backup plan… but are still hoping a QB lands in their lap.

I have to admit, the thought of getting Justin Fields is exciting to me. He is very talented.

Do, do…do you, um, like Jahvid Best highlights too?

to be extra sure he didn’t have to draft Mahomes or Watson! LOL

Love it!

ESPN’s Adam Schefter expects the 49ers to select Alabama QB Mac Jones at No. 3 overall.

This is not a sourced report from Schefter — he was sharing his thoughts on a radio show, not tweeting out a scoop — but he believes the Niners will settle on Jones after doing their due diligence on the draft class. Considering the source, this is the biggest indication yet that the 49ers are zeroed in on Jones after trading up to No. 3 overall, something you only do for a quarterback. “Draft Twitter” — really, any Twitter — is having trouble wrapping its mind around this fact, but the 49ers have begun openly telegraphing the move. They have the luxury of doing so since both teams in front of them also seemed locked into quarterbacks, and they can no longer be jumped in the draft order. For now, Schefter believes the Niners will keep Jimmy Garoppolo around as a bridge quarterback, but he also believes the Niners could move him if the right deal comes along.

I know a lot of people don’t believe it, but now one of the most reliable reporters in the business thinks it will happen too. Also saw a report today that the Falcons GM wants Lance at #4, but the HC doesn’t. IMO, there is a good chance Justin Fields is sitting there at #7 and New England supposedly loves him.

Makes total sense imo. When you look at the West Coast offense, timing and accuracy is key. A true believer in the WC offense could give a shit about a runner QB. Jones orchestrated Bama’s offense to perfection and he will do the same in SF

So Mac Jones he’s going to San Francisco, and MJ backwards is JM is Joe Montana. Coincidence? The stars are aligned…

Awesome!

Maybe Mac, maybe not.

Jones vs. Fields vs. Lance: Who's Better Fit For 49ers?

That was a great article.

You know what I find interesting about this whole situation is that Anthony Lynn was a running back for Kyle’s dad, Mike Shanahan, in Denver. IMO if you want to find an offense that probably looks similar to what our offense will look like, its probably SF as Kyle’s offense is similar to his dad’s (don’t call it a West Coast Offense they get pissed lol). Same coaching tree. It will be a lot like what the article describes I bet. We didn’t sign pure RAC guys, but I bet you this is why you see Waddle get mocked to us a lot.

Excellent read.
