Bucky Brooks recently said he doesn’t consider Mac Jones one of the best talents in this year’s draft class. In fact, he doesn’t see the former Alabama defender as a first-round talent, so it’s hard to imagine the San Francisco 49ers spending four drafts, including three first-rounders, to get up to win him. .
Media talks painted a curious picture after the 49ers traded 3rd on March 26th. Due to the history of the quarterbacks Shanahan worked with, speculation spread, linking Jones to the 49ers.
The narrative has changed little since Justin Fields of Ohio held his next professional day this week. 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch were in attendance, and Fields is now the favorite to succeed Jimmy Garoppolo in Santa Clara.
NFL Media analyst Bucky Brooks joined the team Rich iron show today and we discussed the options of the 49ers with their top choice. With several fake sketches still projecting a Jones-to-Niners scenario on April 29, Eisen asked Brooks who he thinks would be the choice.
“Justin Fields or Trey Lance,” Brooks replied. “I think the conversation about Mac Jones is just a conversation. I think when you are Kyle Shanahan and you move up, you go up to get a remarkable talent. And that talent, for me, has to be someone who can not only do the things you want to do on stage, but off stage.
“Because at the end of the day, what you do is compare your defender with the other defenders in the division. And to be honest, Rich, NFC West has Russell Wilson, Kyler Murray and Matthew Stafford. In any scenario, do we consider Mac Jones to be the player who can be better than any of those boys in the next two to three years? Because if we don’t, then we shouldn’t make a move for him.
“But when we think about the extraordinary talents of the other two (Fields and Lance) mentioned, we can see how their athleticism and the combination of arm talent could give them the opportunity to succeed and surpass some of those guys in the division. I think he must be one of these other two guys and I think Mac Jones is just smoke. “
Brooks continued to decompose Lance’s skill set and NFL potential. You can watch and listen to the entire segment below.

ESPN’s Mel Kiper is not part of the segment of national writers who withdraw a little from the narrative that former Alabama quarterback Mac Jones at the San Francisco 49ers in 3rd place is almost blocked.

With Trevor Lawrence expected to land with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Zach Wilson with the New York Jets and Jones anticipating joining San Francisco, Get Up! host Mike Greenberg asked Kiper if he thinks the first three picks in this year’s draft are a block. “I think I’m a lock now,” Kiper said. “And

Another fake sketch leads the San Francisco 49ers to select former Alabama quarterback Mac Jones with overall pick no. 3. However, this one from Mike Tannenbaum from ESPN is a little different.

Record this in the interesting design sections. San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan attended the Alabama Professional Day last week. That’s what made headlines, as the duo chose to follow quarterback Mac Jones rather than attend Ohio State’s professional day to watch Justin Fields. Along with Chris Simms’ speculation that San Francisco could have traded up to 3rd place for Jones, who encouraged others to seriously consider a Jones-to-49ers scenario. Alabama head coach Nick Saban recently joined the Dan Dan Show and said neither Lynch nor Shanahan asked him anything about his former defender, who helped the Crimson Tide to a national championship. And not because they didn’t get a chance to do it
