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

Here's my hypothesis on why we are seeing all this smoke about Mac. The Jets are about to implement the same offensive system as the 49ers and they also select before the 49ers. You might say, "who cares they are taking Wilson, what do they want with Fields?".

The 49ers do not want to show their interest in Fields because it could cause the Jets to re-consider. "Hell yeah, then we get ZWilson!". Here's the kicker, the 49ers prefer Fields.

There's no need to put up smokescreens unless they are looking to trade down and get some more capital. They have 3 choices at pick 3, it appears as though the guy they want is going to the Jets. If someone 4-10 thinks they can get their guy and trade with the Niners that's ok. I can't see teams trading with the Niners to draft Mac Jones at 3. Maybe the Niners thought they could get Zach when they made the move with the Fins. However, things changed quickly and the BYU QB kept rising. I would not be surprised if the Niners trade down a few pegs and still get Mac.

The 49ers haven't been creating the smokescreen. National media has gone with the notion that Kyle has a type and ran with it. Some are pot committed at this point

Interesting take, by keeping everything close to the vest that leads to speculation. Why is Fields getting such bad press? Some of the stories I've heard are that he is the last one in and the first one out. With all that said he ran a 4.4 forty.

this doesnt make sense to me. The Jets are above the niners and are going to take their QB i doubt any team will take a different QB so the team 1 spot behind them doesnt get their QB

I want to give a story about the drafting of Alex Smith. The 49ers, leading up to the draft were talking about drafting Aaron Rodgers. So the rest of the league was talking about trading up to #2 to get Alex Smith. The 49ers noticed the way the rest of the league was thinking, and switched to Alex Smith first to get someone to trade for the pick, and then they opted to actually select him #1 overall.

The funny thing would be if Kyle/Lynch are doing the Mac Jones whisper campaign to keep everyone in the dark on who they plan to pick, and the Jets then convince themselves that they should be picking Mac instead of Zach Wilson.

Not even the feeble Jets are that dumb. Wilson>>>>>>>>>>>>Jones

The Niners are super secretive, yet everyone, and their mother, knows immediately who the Niners are going to draft after the trade. Seems a bit fishy, given that Kyle is the kind of guy who wants to get the edge in every possible way. They gain nothing from teams knowing who they want to pick. Just smells like a smoke-screen and won't believe who they are picking until they make their pick.

Can we edit the poll question to say "Have the 49ers leaked who they are drafting at #3 (i.e. Mac Jones)"?
