Hometown Jimmy is Chicago's QB1 for 2022 and you can take that to the bank

Everything I've read and seen points to the SF pick will be Jones. Could be a big smoke screen but why do it. Bunch of the talking heads are pointing out how he is perfect for his system. Better version of Kirk Cousins. Can start day one in that QB friendly system. I like Jones a lot too but Fields could be the steal of the draft. Might take a little grooming but he has everything you want in a star QB.

Fields is overrated and is going to be a bust.
But then again I feel that way about most of the quarterbacks.
Trevor Lawrence I think will just be okay.
Zach Wilson has the best "chance" to be something very good, although I'm not entirely sold on him either.

He also has a big soft spot for Kirk Cousins.

I've come to this conclusion as well.

If we can’t draft Jones, Fields would be my 2nd choice. Definitely wouldn’t trade the farm for him though...

It would probably take 3 ones to get the 5th pick. He looks like a bigger stronger Watson or more mobile Josh Allen. Sure would love the next 3-4 years finding out if he turns into a star. At some point the Bears will pick the right QB.

On paper Mac Jones has all the tools to be worthy of the #3 pick. Right now fans are obsessed with the unconventional, flashy type of player that adds a different element to the game. Mac Jones isn't that. But he does everything well.
He might not have the ceiling of Mahomes, but very well easily could be a top 10 QB for a solid decade.

I think Shanahan would like Trey Lance or Zach Wilson.
It kinda mocks pace he has the balls to say either or at #3...lol.
Worst case scenario Trevor Lawrence is probably available.

I understand the Lance pick if Jimmy G stays for another year. No way Lawrence or Wilson is available unless Jets are stupid, which with Joe Douglas I don't think so. Eagles traded down when they found out Wilson wasn't available from Douglas (a former Eagles Employee). The Eagles were in better position than S.F. to get that 3rd pick.

I recently read an article that supports this.
“...... NFL personnel executives, according to the 538 article, overvalue the top 50 picks in the draft because they feel that the closer they are to #1, the better chance they have of hitting a home run.
They are right about the relationship — top draft picks perform better — but they misjudge the degree of difference and, thus, the value of those picks.........”
Also
“....... The general rule of thumb from this analysis is that teams with first round or early second-round picks should be happy to trade down in the draft if the terms of the trade reflect the NFL Trade Value Chart, and that teams holding picks in the middle rounds (3 - 6) should be hesitant about trading them away to move into the top-50.......”
The statistical argument for trading down in the draft
I’m reaching into the distant past here — 2014 — to resurrect an article that was published by fivethirtyeight.com. The article did a great job of putting together information from a number of...

FWIW......the current betting favorite for 3rd pick is Jones
Fields + Lance are tied for 2nd, behind Jones

I don't think Fields falls past 9 to Denver and they may be fighting anyone trying to trade up.

While I agree with some of the Shanny love keep in mind he also passed on Watson and Mahomes. He's not without warts.
Edit I didn't see R.D post touching on this.

nobody is taking Jones in top 3(except maybe Katherine Webb in first 3 marriages).
