I am not saying Mac to the 49ers is for sure. But if I was trying to connect the dots or look at what the signs are pointing to. The one and only dot/sign we have really gotten is that pro day to Alabama and that points to Mac.
Maybe he was already set on fields and wanted to see if Jones could change his mind. And obviously with his dreadful proday he did not
First off, he did not have a dreadful pro day. A few overthrown deep balls, while the rest of your passes are dimes, does not equal a dreadful pro day.
Second. When you make a trade like this your instinct is not going to be, Hey guys, first things first, let's go check out the prospect we are least interested in and talk to him. Even though that means we will miss out on watching in person and talking to our favorite prospect. No, your instinct is going to be to go watch and talk to the guy who you fell in love with enough to make the trade to began with.
