@canefan the best QB not named Lawrence will go to the Jets at 2 (Zach Wilson).
The good news for the 49ers is there are still QB options at 3. A lot more than at 12.
I'm pretty convinced Taylor will be a bust. The level of competition he's played against in college is so low that it's basically irrelevant, and the only game he played against a half decent team he was exposed. I'd much rather have Fields.
Lance is an exciting prospect but has played so little he's all prospect. The Saleh connection presumably means that the 49ers have an idea of what the jets will be doing. QB is the most obvious and likely choice but there's a chance of a trade down particularly if the Panthers or even the Falcons decide to sell the farm to jump the 49ers.
The jets are at least one more draft and off season away from being genuine contenders so getting a QB now risks a repeat of the Sam Darnold show where a QB gets terrible habits from having no protection and no weapons.
Wow paragraph #1 sounds exactly like the football chat on Fox Sports Radio this morning!

Lawrence is going 1. The only reason Urban Meyer took the job was cos of Lawrence. Lawrence has already committed to donating to Jacksonville charities.
As for Mac - i'm talking about the tape. Watch his footwork. Watch his movement in the pocket. Watch how he is an anticipatory thrower (i.e. he throws players open rather than needing the player to be open before he throws it). He had less talent around him than Tua had the prior season and yet he outperformed Tua.

9ers fans are in the Shanahan's hands. Kyle has proven he can coach, he will back his ability to coach up whoever they pick

49ers had a press conference this morning - they were roasted with questions about how the fanbase hates Mac Jones.
49ers were very defensive about not caring what fans/outside noise thinks. Either 49ers are picking Mac Jones or this is the biggest smoke screen ever.
Also - expect Jimmy G to be traded this weekend - it sure sounded like he's gone. I'd watch out for Washington to perhaps trade for him - their new GM just came from SF.

Would be safer to pick someone and have him sit behind Jimmy for a year. Will be massive pressure if they pick Jones and he is made to start immediately
-
The Broncos traded for Teddy Bridgewater....
yay...
he's basically free (6th round pick and like $3M) but even still. To me this means they are well aware that Lock is not the guy.

Let the Draft Day craziness begin.
How can the 9ers swap Jimmy G for Rodgers? Do it!
-
yes!! i have heard all sorts of rumours about Rodgers not starting next season in a cheese helmet. You have to sign him if you have a chance, but he's gotta be tough to work with. Great player, shit team mate
Been watching old draft videos on the NFL's Insta page. It's fucking great seeing these kids as they get signed. Watched a good one with JuJu Smith-Schuster before. The Steelers got him at pick 62! bargain
Also, even weirder than Rodgers wanting out, i saw a post that Tim Tebow will head to the Jags. As a tightend. Now, i reckon he should have pivoted to TW as soon as it became apparent he wasn't going to make it as a QB. Big guy, good feet. But that was 10 years ago! How come Kap can't get a gig again?
-
@mariner4life well Tebow played under Jags coach Urban Meyer at college. That's the only reason this is even a chance of happening.

And Fields slide begins. I wish the jets had picked him but Wilson is qb now so here's hoping he can adjust to the higher talent level in the NFL.
God I hope the pats don't manage to get Fields.
i have read a bunch that the Broncos are hoping he's still on the Board at 9

@cyclops Trey Lance at 3 to the 49ers? From North Dakota State ... after 1 game.
Wow, that's some brain bending shit. Hope they know what they're doing
1 game? He played the entire year before.
Kyle swings for the fences and doesn't pick a traditional Shanahan QB. Exciting.

spot on, my bad ... misread an online comment. Should have been 1 game this season
-
defense can get fucked. QB, QB, QB, TE, WR, WR to top the draft.
-
@mariner4life There's no huge defensive star in this class.
There's still another gun WR out there from Alabama who won the Heisman Trophy this year.
-
interesting the Lions went with protection for their big QB signing rather than someone to throw to
-
don't you fuck this up....
