Bucky Brooks recently stated that he doesn’t see Mac Jones as one of the top three talents in this year’s draft category. In fact, he doesn’t see the former Alabama quarterback as a first-round talent, period, so it’s hard to imagine the San Francisco 49ers spending four draft picks, including three first-round picks, to move up to the acquisition.
Media chatter painted a curious picture after the 49ers shifted to No. 3 spot on March 26th. Due to the history of the quarterbacks Shanahan has worked with, speculation overflowed, linking Jones to the 49ers.
The narrative has changed a bit since Justin Fields, of Ohio State, celebrated his second professional day this week. The 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch attended, and Fields is now the favorite to succeed Jimmy Garoppolo in Santa Clara.
NFL media analyst Bucky Brooks joined Rich iron show today and we debated the 49ers ’options with their best selection. With several fake drafts still projecting a Jones-to-Niners scenario on April 29, Eisen asked Brooks who he thinks will 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’re Kyle Shanahan and you go up, you go up to get remarkable talent. And that talent, for me, has to be someone who can’t just do things. what you want to do in the script, but out of the script.
“Because at the end of the day, what you’re doing is comparing your quarterback to the other quarterbacks in the division. And to be honest, Rich, NFC West has Russell Wilson, Kyler Murray and Matthew Stafford. In any case, do we consider Mac Jones to be the player who can be better than any of these guys in the next two or three years? Because if we don’t, we shouldn’t make any 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 their combination of arm talent could give them a chance to succeed and beat some of these guys of the division. I think he must be one of those two more guys, and I think Mac Jones is just a smokescreen. “
Brooks broken down Lance’s skills and NFL potential. You can then watch and hear the entire segment.
