On the other hand, maybe San Francisco likes Fields enough that they are confident about his pro-day.  They could also just be saying that they are keeping Garoppolo as a strategy to drive up his trade value.

Some are speculating that Mac Jones is the true target.

Shanahan had a similar QB in Matt Ryan while with Atlanta, and a similar QB in Washington with Kirk Cousins.  That and they made the move without attending the Ohio State workout.

All I know is as bad as that 1-15 season was last year, I would gladly endure it since it resulted in us getting the first overall pick this year.

Quick survey:  49ers GM John Lynch traded THREE (3) first round picks and a 3rd round pick to get to pick 3.  If you were the Jaguars' GM sitting at 12, would you have been willing to make a similar trade to get up for a QB?

If so, which QB would you have targeted?

How much more would you have been willing to pay to go higher?

If not, why not?

How much longer would you be willing to wait before you got your franchise QB if you were not willing to trade up?
