49ers HC Kyle Shanahan says they’ve been in contact with QB Justin Fields’ agent and plan to get another pro day with him before April’s draft. 

Shanahan and GM John Lynch will attend Alabama QB Mac Jones’ pro day on Tuesday, while assistant GM Adam Peters watches Fields’ workout the same day in Columbus, Ohio, per @peter.king8. 

The 49ers, however, still have plans to schedule a private workout with Fields.

They aren't taking Fields I can almost guarantee it. 

They either traded up for Mac Jones which I have no fuging idea why they would unless secretly the Panthers loved him and were about to trade up for him

OR more likely imo 

They traded up for Lance. It's a poorly kept secret the Falcons loved Lance.

Yea I’m thinking they want Lance as well.

Just got off the phone with my brother-in-law, a chiropractor in Columbus, OSU Alumnus, who knows a lot of folks inside the Ohio State program.  He said that the OSU QB has evolved--never really been known for QBs until recently, and he gave a reason for every recent QB bust--he says that Fields is different--was used less like an athlete who can throw and more like a thrower who is an athlete.  He reads, but tends to lose patience the more he is in the pocket.  He said that Fields is the best QB Ohio State has had in his recent memory--if you are thinking NFL potential.  He still has his doubts and sees what might scare off some NFL fans, but he thinks the right system will produce a star.

    • Hard to interpret some of Brugler's opinions. Capable of running a robust route tree sounds like a lazy thing to say - I'm sure just about every slot TE is capable of running a full route tree... I want to know if he is currently able to (which from tape leads me to a no). Granted, it's pretty common for most receivers/TE not having a full route tree developed before they get drafted. Agility/acceleration after the catch hasn't shown up on his tape (at least his Oregon tape) for those dig/out breaking routes while it has for the seam and slant routes. Agree he has a good physical build and he is very good running seam routes. His build definitely helps him to shield defenders and create a large target point for the QB. Drops were a concern, but it could be focus drops just like T-Mac was/is prone to. Run blocking is an accurate statement, but again, we have only seen him run block in the slot/backfield - inline blocking is a whole different animal. With his athleticism, he definitely has a high ceiling. I just think he also has a low floor and don't like taking that big of a risk on a mid 1st rounder. I think this is a deep TE draft and would much rather target one in the 3rd or later. He's very boom or bust to me - bust in terms of being worth a 1st round pick, not an out of the NFL in a few years type bust. I feel like he gives me Evan Engram vibes. Not saying that Evan Engram was/is a bad NFL player, just that most people would agree he shouldn't have been drafted in the 1st.
    • I mean I would love 6-1. It’s funny the hurricanes usually dominate the first game and win by three or four goals. But keep the second game close. It would be nice if it’s the reverse of that tonight.
    • Brugler has him as TE1 and going to the Ravens in the first.  Apparently Sadiq's football IQ is pretty high (interviewed very well).  Also he was an WR and CB in high school.  This is why I always thought his route running was solid.  I'm sure it needs some polishing but for a TE it's pretty good. nfl.com Built like a bodyguard with a compact, well-defined frame. Capable of running a robust route tree. Gets in and out of breaks with good snap and separation. Vandalizes defensive seams with impunity against man coverage. Survives collisions with catches thanks to his hand strength. Shows off agility and acceleration after the catch. Fits up run blocks with proper positioning and base width. Grips and presses forward with moving feet to stay connected. -Again I don't know if we should take him but if he goes to the right team he could become a scary weapon at the next level.  I just like him as a prospect.
