He said in the pocket QBs. He's not a pure in the pocket passing QB.

Wow, Peter King says that Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch will be at Alabama's Pro Day to watch Mac Jones, while Adam Peters and others will be at Ohio State's Pro Day to watch Justin Fields.

Uhh...lots to be inferred from this, but Shanahan wants to watch Jones up close?

They should be at all 4 qb's pro days evaluating them. Nothing wrong with that.

I'm confused. Mac Jones had his pro day...

holy f**k, Alabama is having a second pro day.

It seems stunning to think Alabama's Mac Jones could be the Niners' choice—and "could be" is the operative phrase because the Niners have not decided who to choose at three. You can expect Lynch or coach Kyle Shanahan to say that today when they meet with the local press for the first time since January. But Jones is in the mix. Friend-of-Shanahan Chris Simms, an NBC Sports analyst, wasn't predicting Jones would be the Niners' guy when we talked Saturday, but he said: "Where Mac fits that offense perfectly is that Kyle will give him one or two clues about what the defense will do on a play, and the results will be top notch for Mac when he executes the play. He has Joe Burrow-type reading of the defense. Plus, other than Zach Wilson, Mac is the best bullseye-thrower in the draft." If not Jones, my best guess is Trey Lance, athletic and strong-armed, would be the pick here.

Last point regarding the Niners, if they pick Mac Jones: There is a cadre of evaluators who do not think Jones is a great quarterback for 2021 football because he's not mobile like a Lance or Wilson. Maybe those evaluators are wrong. We'll find out soon enough. But if San Francisco picks Jones, the upshot will be stark. For a team to spend three first-round picks on Mac Jones will be the story to watch out of the 2021 draft.

2) Dueling Pro Days on Tuesday might provide a clue. For QB-seekers, what to do when the Pro Days of Mac Jones at Alabama and Justin Fields at Ohio State both happen on Tuesday? I hear the Niners will split the baby, with Lynch and Shanahan expected to attend the Jones workout, while assistant GM Adam Peters likely will lead a small delegation in Columbus to scout Fields. Not sure I would infer huge meaning to that, but it could be significant. How I view it: Jones could be the leader, but it's not over.

Peter King has hinted at the 49ers' pick every single year. I'm sorry, guys. We're taking Mac Jones at 3. I don't know how to feel.

I can't believe we've done all of this to get a guy like Mac. Look if it happens I still think we're in prime position to win Superbowls in his rookie contract (as we would be with all of the QB's) but this is not a guy that carries a team.
