Kyle Shanahan has never attended a Pro Day outside of the local one at Stanford, and I believe he only attended it in 2017.

Yeah. If Shanahan had already made up his mind, why would he go to any Pro Day? Everyone already knows who the first two picks are going to be. Is Shanahan trying to keep himself from knowing who he's gonna draft?
He went because he needed to see McCorkle up close — because he hasn't decided who he's picking yet.
The fact that he's even in question to be the pick is the problem. f**king gross.
also it is kinda a big deal if he goes, I don't think Kyle has been to a pro day outside of Stanford since being the HC here.
No question. His judgement on QBs is seriously questionable at this point. The fact that this is the first pro day that he's attended in a long time is scary.

I think it's a smoke screen. If Shanny is gushing over Fields or Wilson you don't think Saleh and the Jets are going to be like hey wait a second. Why is Kyle trading 3 1sts for this guy and we're just passing on him like it's nothing. We have to cover who our man is. So gush over Mac.
I hope that's true. I really don't think it makes much sense to trade all those picks for the lowest ceiling prospect. But Kyle's the genius, I'm just trying to figure out what the heck he's thinking

I don't think many will disagree with you here. But, like 5_Golden_Rings points out, there is more to it than physical traits. Having the most physical tools is not (should not be) synonymous with having the highest ceiling.
Look, I don't want Jones at three. But, if he goes at three, I'm willing to wait and see what Kyle can do with him. In a few years we will see if your evaluation, re ceiling, is correct. I hope you and others singing the same tune are wrong if Jones becomes a 49er.

If they do draft him there's no way you can be truly surprised.
this is just like trading up and over drafting CJ, Joe Williams, Dante Pettis and drafting a punter in the 4th just on a much grander scale.
The entire thread became one giant meme after that until draft day.

I don't think that knowledge is lost on Kyle. He very well may take Jones. But if he's being this transparent and they're leaking this s**t to his buddies and Peter King... Kyle is just as bad as Jed circa early 2010s. He can't be this stupid.

What makes you say he has the lowest ceiling? Most accurate passer in the draft as well as the best at going thru his progressions. The huge question is how will he play from under center.

Why are you saying this? The Jags are taking Lawrence and the jets are taking Wilson. You think Carolina is gonna jump up to two and steal Mac from us? Even if in an alternate universe that did happen we'd still end up with Wilson.

If Kyle makes him the guy, I'll have no choice but to root for him to succeed. Like I've said, Kyle is the genius, not me. But given the coaching, culture, and talent on this team, why go with the guy with the worst physical traits? It's more likely than the historical average that any of these QBs succeeds here because the foundation of this team is not your average team drafting in the top 5. So why not swing for the fences with the dude with crazy physical traits?

Peter King: saying Mac or Lance...
"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
