I have to admit that's one thing I question.

You have the third pick and pretty much everybody knows who's going one and two.

What the hell is the point of smokescreening from that position?

I think the smokescreen is merely them second guessing themselves after such a bold move.   Because really, what is Mac Jones going to give you that Jimmy G doesn't?  Given this is Kyle running his scheme/O in SF.  Does Mac really make you better?

Well, I guess you could say the Jets haven't been the best at evaluating QB's.  So, from the 49er's perspective, do you really want to name your guy and have the Jets snag him?  It would be just about the most Jets thing that could happen.

Is it actually 4D chess?  The 49ers smokescreening people away from Mac Jones to make someone else take him?  I dunno, it's the lying season for sure.  I can't fathom Mac Jones at 3.  But I couldn't fathom Trubisky at 2 either.

Everybody knows who the Jets are taking.

Everybody knows who the Jaguars are taking.

My point is, why didn't the DUI knock Mac Jones? It's being totally ignored.

It was headline news 4 years ago!

He owned it and learned from it, a life experience. 

If he was stupid enough to go out and get one with the draft hanging in the balance it would have an impact.

Exactly. Right off the top of my head Cam and the laptop incident, Baker and 'running' from the cops... there are plenty of examples where guys were not docked for a past poor decision that hasn't been repeated. I'm in no way condoning drunk driving of course but some situations are bigger red flags than others that are easily correctable.

Now, if one wants to ask why it's not being discussed at all (assuming it hasn't, I really don't know) while things like Cam and the laptop were brought up ad nauseum then that's perhaps valid. But Mac is certainly not the only high-round draftee being forgiven for a past mistake.

When did the Fields’ Georgia “issues” happen? He doesn’t appear to have any issues at OSU?

I think what people are saying is Fields and Mac aren’t getting the same treatment. Mac shouldn’t be shunned for this incident and he isn’t, but if Fields had this happen to him would it be an issue?

Dak also "owned up to it" and apologized 18 million times. It still made him fall. They rode Cam his entire senior year and afterwards, but he was too good for the "knocking" to work. My only gripe is this guy is getting off scott free for what normally hurts other players. I can't stand San Fran, and I hope they do select him.

I didn't know anything about Dak and had to look it up, but from what I can tell that issue was right before the draft. The big difference, as SizzleBuzz pointed out, is the potential stakes around draft time and the maturity of a player making a decision and even being in that position at all vs something that happened well in the past and that a player has clearly learned from (assuming Jones has). Dak had no such window of time to reestablish a baseline.

It's an understandable difference IMO, though like everyone else I can't say definitely that that was the only factor.

    • Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.
    • II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.      
    • Bryce had some bad games, but he had some good ones as well (and this is coming from a Bryce skeptic). I think it's a little simplistic to put all the offensive woes on Bryce, you also should be looking at O-line play, receiver play, RB and TE play, and also coaching. There's no way when I look at the offense in it's totality am I ready to say that a so-so to bad offense was all on Bryce, and, I also can't say that we don't need to upgrade any position on offense, save Tetairoa McMillan (who also wasn't perfect) and maybe the starting guards and T-mo.
