P.S. In reporting this mailbag, I made several phone calls to various agents, sources, etc. I called for different reasons, but I asked each who they think the 49ers are taking at pick No. 3. None has an affiliation with any of the three quarterbacks or is with a team seeking a quarterback.

The verdict? Fields went 4-for-4.

Paywalled article 

So, 4 separate agents believe the Niners are picking Fields...

The NY market though...

Maybe he's part of the NY market.  Maybe the 49ers' hype machine of Mac Jones has swayed Urbz to make the big swing on Mac Jones and then the Jets take Lawrence and the 49ers get Wilson or Fields

This is the only logical explanation.

I'd probably give this one some weight. Silver has been very quiet on who he thought the choice would be, but has been one of the few national guys who has kept open the idea of Fields. He's very specific here with regards to what the 49ers are liking, so I think him saying Mac is a big deal.

I mean, was he ever even rushed at Alabama behind that offensive line or with those 25+% of career passing attempts he threw within a yard of the LOS?

He wasn't under duress a whole ton. I think he was pressured less in 13 games than Fields was in 8 lol. Then you consider the rpg / screen game. That being said, I don't want to be too hard on him and take away things that he really should get credit for. He is very clean mechanically and within the tackle box he does show really nice pocket manipulation. He's very Matthew Stafford-esque.
