The way Mac Jones has been talked about before the NFL Draft, you would think the former Alabama Crimson Tide QB would actually have a chance of going No. 1 in the Draft if Trevor Lawrence did not exist.
The San Francisco 49ers appear likely to select a quarterback with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft, and they have been mostly connected with Jones.
Just days before the draft, a video has now surfaced showing a drunk Mac Jones at a party:
ESPN’s Todd McShay provided the latest buzz surrounding the 49ers’ decision:
“I’m told that many in the 49ers’ personnel department have pushed for North Dakota State QB Trey Lance but that coach Kyle Shanahan wants to draft Alabama’s Mac Jones. One person I spoke to even heard that Shanahan might “acquiesce” to the scouting department on the selection, but others have said that seems unlikely. At this time of year, there is a lot of seed planting with the rumor mill, and it could certainly be the case here.”
Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson are widely expected to be the first two players off the board, presumably leaving San Francisco with the choice between Mac Jones, Trey Lance and Justin Fields.
