Have the 49ers leaked who they are drafting at #3 (i.e. Mac Jones)

Kinda weird you don't know who he is...literally the only 49er reporter that is leaning towards Mac is MM and he's said it's an opinion... he has no sources. Every other guy has said they either don't think it's Mac or at the very least SF hasn't said s**t.

why does it have to be a smokescreen? They haven't said anything and don't have to. It's just people guessing and a bunch of media echo-chamber content.

I agree Tony has been around, to say the least.

What's interesting is the language he uses, "I'm told" as opposed to Schefter who said, "I believe".

A lot of people have opinions on this but aren't willing to put themselves out there and claim they are in the know. It gives them an out.

Tony spoke about what he was told.

Now, if Schefter starts using language like, "my sources are telling me" or "I am told" I will view his comments in a different light.

I'm willing to bet real money against Mac being the pick. I'm that confident it will not be him. This is a "use your head and it's a no brainer" situation. If they wanted to draft him, they could have easily moved up to 6 or another spot and land him. They didn't need to trade all that capital to 3.

Honestly it's one thing SF has done really really well since the new regime stepped in...no leaks. Like nothing. There's about a dozen examples to backup this.

The media is talking what guys outside of the organization who "think/assume" and roll with that. There's no truth it. We got Matt Miller's source is a freaking former employee lol.

I'm also not saying he won't be the pick, but simply saying everyone is straight up guessing. They're looking at the guy who fits the shanny "mold" which we don't even really know what that that is anymore and plugging him in.

If was Mac Jones, no questions asked...why in the world would they ask Fields to have another pro day? Why would his agent even agree to that, if he didn't have some idea that he might be the pick at 3? He had a great pro day and doesn't have s**t to show anyone else....unless Kyle & shanny haven't made a decision yet.

I don't think the 9ers have been leaking info. That was something that happened a lot pre Shan/Lynch, but seems to have stopped since they arrived.

However... I do think that there are times when Shan and/or Lynch are very easy to read. There have been moves that were really telegraphed. The weren't leaked, but everyone still could read them and knew what they were doing. Like when they drafted Deebo.

His statement saying it's 50-50 is playing it as safe as one can in this situation....Hell, he doesn't even narrow it down between Fields or Lance for that other 50% lol?

Fields learning from Cam or Dak would be interesting.

My guess is since they've paid Dak for the next three years Dallas wants to jump Cincinnati for either a tackle or Pitts.

New England definitely wants a qb and like the niners said, they like 3 QBs right now which means there are 4 QBs that New England are comfortable with. Doesn't necessarily have to be Fields.

Forgot they just parked a brinks truck at Daks. Your right they don't need. And only Fields or Lance will be left for NE. Going to be one of those 2.
