yup. we have no clue what another team might be looking for in a QB. outside of Lawrence at #1, anything can happen afterwards.

Not going to lie... if we take Mac Jones at 3 I'm going to be pretty pissed.

He could work out but you don't trade two future 1sts for him. Period. You could get him at 12 potentially.

Mac Jones will be gone by 10.

My thoughts on this trade after it sunk in. The 49ers know Lance is going to Jax at 1, the 49ers most likely know whom the Jets are picking at 2 given their new relationship, so pick 3 is a sure bet. Whomever they want at 3 is going to be there, unless the Jets pull a screw job. And even then, that would mean they'd get the Jets target at worst.
Niners gonna pick Pitts or another X factor player....

Yes. If they stayed at 12.

My guess is they didn't want to risk it with the Panthers. Matt Rhule worked with him at Senior Bowl and was impressed with him.

That's not a guarantee, all it takes is one team to fall in love with him and end up going before #12.

I doubt it and I love Mac. He Does seem like a KYle Qb I will give you that but If Mac was someone they wanted I think they would have eyed the 6 spot with the eagles like the dolphins did and saved themselves a future 1st rounder. I could be wrong though. We know they have to love at least three Qbs right now. We got to assume Wilson and Lawrance are two of them. The question is who is the third.

This is what this FO does...locks in on their guy and overpays on a trade up.

This Mac Jones talk is infuriating. I cannot believe that high-level reporters, scouts, and pundits are giving him the time of day at 3.

Bill Walsh once said that if you move up for your guy, and he turns out to be what you want, then it isn't a reach.

Of course, Walsh wasn't always correct in his picks but his point is correct.
In the 2021 NFL draft, with the #3 overall pick, the San Francisco 49ers select Kellen Mond QB Texas A&M.

YOU GUYS! YOU GUYS! I JUST SAW THE NEWS YOU GUYS! CRAZY f**kING DAY, MY WINDSHIELD WAS SUPPOSED TO BE REPLACED BUT THEN THE WEATHER f**kED THAT UP. THEN MY DOG DECIDES TODAY IS NOT THE DAY TO, YOU KNOW, LISTEN. s**t IS CRAZY HERE, MAN. I AM PRETTY SURE MY FOUR YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IS TRYING TO GO SPELUNKING IN OUR STAIR WELL. PANDEMONIUM. BUT WHATEVSSSSSSSS. WE GOING FOR WILSON, RIGHT?

My god this is chess moves. Keep Jimmy to groom the rookie for a year. Then trade him back to NE next year. Use the cap space to extend Warner and Bosa

That seems very plausible.

If Jimmy plays well and so does our rookie, I would say its even likely. Even a much desired scenario.

I just thought of something, Miami could pull a dirty with all the draft capital and trade up to two ha ha

I would tend to agree, but it seems they have locked in on their guy (not the right guy) and magically trade down for him. Then have some second or third day pick make up for the mistake.
