Former NFL executive Michael Lombardi, now a writer for The Athletic, recently joined SiriusXM’s The wrapper and he seemed sure he at least knows what the San Francisco 49ers are they are not making the No. 3 overall pick. The team shifted to the spot on March 26, delivering four draft picks, including its own first players in the next three drafts, to move up to No. 12 spots.
The three candidates with the best bets to be the first team in San Francisco are Justin Fields of Ohio State, Mac Jones of Alabama and Trey Lance of the state of North Dakota, in that order.
Lombardi is convinced it won’t be Fields, though.
“Can I tell you the news I’ve heard? Justin Fields won’t go to number 3,” Lombardi told Patrick Meagher (h / t Sasha D. Robinson). “That’s what I heard.”
The writer acknowledges that there are skeptics on Twitter who believe he could be wrong. He even has a message for them.
“Where do you get your information?” Lombardi asked hoarsely. “Like, do you have better sources than me? Good luck. Good luck. I’m just telling you that if it’s not Mac Jones, it’s Trey Lance. So take this [how] vols, Patrick. Please do whatever you want. “
Fields worked against the 49ers and other NFL teams last week, which made him jump over Jones in the eyes of the odds. On Monday, Lance will train against the Niners, which could increase his chances of being No. 3 overall.

While the last two names are more likely to excite the fan base, there is much speculation that the former could be the option number 3 in general. A former 49ers defender, cornerback Richard Sherman, doesn’t assume it will be Jones, however. In fact, he sees Fields as the perfect fit for San Francisco, assuming Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson take on the top two picks. Cornerman Tre’Davious White, the latest guest on the Cris Collinsworth Podcast, who co-hosts Sherman, also believes the 49 will select Fields. It’s not easy to understand that San Francisco ceded several first-round picks and one

There was a lot of talk about the absences of San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan, and the absences of general manager John Lynch on the Ohio State professional day last week.
