Almost a perfect draft...almost. #121 was CB St. Juste from Minnesota. Stupid banner ad.

According to PFF, we are in the driver's seat for Darnold IF the Jets are willing to trade him. They seem to think that it's Mac Jones or Darnold for us. I tend to agree. If Jets trade Darold, Carolina is the top team

Cousin's Uncles grandma?

^^^ This exactly. I wouldn't argue that point at all. Of all the talking heads, Jeremiah one of the few I value their input. What about Lance? I know I will get asked that. I would slot Darnold above Lance based on experience alone, but not on long term outlook.

Eh, both mocks have their share of head-scratchers. Not shocking, you said this was form Joe Persons, correct? Despite missing out on the QB, I think mock B is the better of the two. Neither are great.

Where in the world did you see that??? I mean chat rooms aside....like a legit source?

Here's how I look at the Niners taking Mac Jones situation; that's one team off the board for another QB or OT to be there for us at #8. That means only ONE TEAM, just one has to take another position other than QB or OT for us get one of those very two targets. Meaning it will be extremely likely we get to have a shot at either a QB or OT, if not a choice of the two. So yeah, I'm all about the Niners taking Mac Jones.

If Mac Jones ends up playing like I think he will, they may be out of a job in a year or two anyhow for passing up on Fields and Lance.

Lucky for him Jax tanked harder than the Jets, although I don't think the Jets were tanking. Sadly they only won one more game than the Jags actually trying. Not that going to Jacksonville is much better, BTW.

How many QBs careers have the Jets ruined? At some point you have to look at the organization instead of the players. I don't think Darnold is all that and a bag of chips, but he's not horrible either.

The Niners are either going to look like geniuses in a few years or like complete morons. There's no middle ground on this move from my perspective.

But why #3? I guess the NFL is WAY higher on Jones than a lot of us are. Even if the Niners thought we would take him at #8, they didn't have to jump all the way up to #3 to secure him. This still baffles me.

If we have our QB, then that's a draft pick slot filled that we otherwise would have used. Plus, we could either move back in the first or second round to recoup the Darnold pick.

I'd do a 3rd and build around him. If the Panthers do trade for Darold, take the OT at #8 or move back.

Unless the price tag is reasonable for Darnold now, we wait and let the first round play itself out. We will be kicking ourselves in one of the "big 4" is there at #8 and we already have Darnold on the roster because we got overly anxious.

My bet is on Lance and they are putting up an elaborate smokescreen for some reason. Shanahan's system requires an athletic QB. That does not scream Mac Jones to me. The only reason I can think of that they have to keep up such an elaborate smokescreen is in the VERY SLIM chance the Jets trade out of #2 to throw off a team like the Panthers who was in full force at Lance's pro day.

As much as I want a first round QB, I am totally against moving up. We still have too many holes to being trading away draft capital.

If Pitts were available at #8 and the 4 QBs are gone, I have a feeling he still would not be the pick or the team would trade back. I don't think Brady values the TE position highly, especially as a top 10 pick.

If we want a tall, fast, redzone target that's not going to be an in-line blocker, we can wait until the 3rd/4th round to draft that guy (Strachan or Fehoko). No need to get Pitts at #8. Plus, we just signed Dan Arnold... a tall, rezone target that's not a blocking TE. That signing took Pitts out of the picture for us, IMO.

I agree, but our guy(s) have to be gone at #8. I'm not doing it for the sake of just netting more picks.

It should be a QB, Sewell/Slater or trade down. I'm not big on taking WRs and DBs this early.

FIFY. In my case anyhow.

Mine are for sell right now and have been, but I'm not giving them away for free. VERY reasonably priced.

I wouldn't mind taking him in the 3rd ONLY if the following scenario occurs: the "big 4" all have been drafted AND we draft a franchise LT in the first round to protect him. I've watched some of his game tape. Davis has the tools, but has battled injury and, like Lance, has few starts to his name. If we draft him, *ducks for incoming* Teddy will be the starter this year. Mills will have to sit a season, no question.

You're a little late on this. Mills has steadily been creeping up Big Boards since his Pro Day. He'll be a mid-round pick, not late. He should be the next QB off the board after Trask now. Yes, in front of Newman and Mond.
