I think it’s more likely that Kyle/Lynch aren’t telling anyone who they actually want, but do have an idea of who it is at this point. They mortgage to move up to 3 a month in advance instead of on draft day. It feels like they did have two or more guys in mind but now can use the extra time to differentiate. No more hiding about wanting a QB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really can't take another 3 weeks of this Anything Mike Tannebaum says or does you should go with the opposite there is a reason he failed at being GM and VP for 2 organizations with very little to show for it other then bloated contracts and losing records.

Yeah, do not buy any stock in the idea that the Niners do not know who they want. At this point, they know exactly who they want. They probably actually want Lawrence or Wilson, but they are expecting those 2 guys to be gone and are extremely comfortable with whoever their 3rd QB is. Right now, I think that is Fields. This sort of thing happens almost every year, where the choice based just on tape from months ago is talked out of for whatever reason. Fields was the #2 2021 QB for a long time, even going back to the end of the college season. I think he is the guy at 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on a niners podcast a week or so ago and his reasoning was horrible. He stated the niners traded up to get their next Matt Ryan, Matt Schaub, or Jimmy G. I mean, thats insane?? Even if you like Mac Jones, you're not hoping he's Schaub or Jimmy G. You're hoping for Matt Ryan or Drew Brees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite was talking about how they wanted to have a guy that "wouldn't screw up" and when you traded up, you wanted to go after talent and character (Mac is probably the least physically talented, and the only one with a character ding lol) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have been cheaper to trade into pick 4 and get whichever QB is left of the 2 ( assuming it's Lawrence then Wilson going 1 and 2) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see it all over their player acquisitions. It's just a thing that we have come to accept in the niner forum lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlanta wasn't ready to deal. Holding out for more? This is consistent with the fact that neither Denver nor New England have been able to finalize a trade for #4. Time is on Atlanta's side. For now. 2. Shanahan had a strong preference between Fields and Jones. Whether or not it is still the same preference is another question entirely--one that Kyle won't be answering.

That is the strong opposite to "going to get their guy". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the strong opposite to "going to get their guy". Not if you're the one who wants to make the decision as opposed to getting the scraps. In a situation where they haven't made a decision or view players similarly at the current point in time, "their guy"is a concept more than a specific player. Given more time, the opinion may change and they want to be in a position to adjust to that change. Though personally I think they had the decision already made. I think it's always been made.

Since I was responding to the specific quote above about the concept of SF being "ecstatic with any of them", that is certainly not the same as "going to get their guy" 3 minutes ago, Forge said: Not if you're the one who wants to make the decision as opposed to getting the scraps.

Lis, in that situation, "their guy" is a concept I'm happy to have $20, $30 or $40 given to me for no reason, however I do have a preference on which. Happy to have any of them doesn't mean you want to give someone else the control either. You can be happy to have any of them and still want to make the call 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
