I really want Fields. If we take Lance, I will be ecstatic as well but only because we didn't take Jones. 

I’m with you, I would like Fields, but I also see the potential in Lance. I will be disappointed if we go with Jones and leave that potential there for other teams to gain from.

I think the thing that really puts Fields above it for me is that I expect Jimmy to start next season, but if we trade him before hand or if he is injured, I think Fields is far more prepared to step in and succeed than Lance. That is really the only thing that has me put Fields above Lance at this point

49ers did not do a "player wearing #10 days away from the draft".

Mac Jones wears #10.

Coincidence? I think not. 

Boom, I solved it again

After leading the pack for the past month straight, Justin fields loses his grip on the lead. 

60% - Mac

10% - Lance

30% - Fields

I wish we could just rip off the bandaid and be done with this.

There will never be a lead up to a draft like this one

Things usually start getting leaked closer and closer to the draft. For example, i believe Darnold was the consensus #1 pick in all the mock drafts back in 2018 until a few days before the draft, when it became clear Mayfield was going to be the pick. I think this happens because more people (scouts, assistant coaches, assistant execs, etc) get informed who the pick/top target is going to be 

I'm sure at some point next week, a day or 2 before the draft, Shanny & Lynch will tell more people who we're drafting. 

But who knows, maybe its a mystery until the moment Goodell reads the name off the card. Since the first 2 picks are safe bets, its entirely upto Shanny & Lynch how they want to do this.

Yeah, Dorsey didn't tell anyone until there was like 3 days to go before the draft. Before that, it was Allen/Darnold

I think you are probably right on that. Not having a combine or any of the normal off-season activities really changed things this year. I just hope we don’t blow this.

I just happened to listen / read a lot of pro Mac, Justin fields is falling stuff today 😂😂

I think our situation compares pretty well with the Browns actually. I looked up some mock drafts. Even 1-2 days before the draft, a lot of them had the Browns selecting Darnold. There's even comments like these...sound familiar?

Sam Darnold, QB, USC. I'm pivoting back to Darnold for the Browns. I think it's the right choice, and I expect the Browns to ultimately settle on him. It's still tough to pin down which quarterback they have at the top of their list, but CBS Sports NFL insider Jason La Canfora is giving the edge to Darnold, so I will as well.

Quote

The Browns have kept us guessing for months. Various names surfaced as possibilities for the No. 1 pick, from Sam Darnold, to Saquon Barkley, to Josh Allen, and now to Baker Mayfield. 

Quote

The Browns could go with a dynamic playmaker in Baker Mayfield at this spot or succumb to the scintillating upside of Josh Allen—but I think they’ll choose the most complete signal-caller in the draft. Darnold has the size that teams covet, the arm strength to attack every level of the field, the escapability to get outside the pocket and keep plays alive, and, most important, the ability to throw with anticipation and accuracy, even in the face of pressure.

The Pick: QB Sam Darnold, USC

I felt good-ish about this pick until Thursday morning. When writing this on Monday, I would have said it's 50/50 down to Sam Darnold and Josh Allen. Now, on Thursday morning, it seems the intel is swinging to Darnold or Baker Mayfield

The funny part about King is that he creates a mock against his own sources lol. He broke both the kinlaw and mcg info and didn't have us select either in his mock 😂

I went looking for the video of Scangarello saying play it cool to Justin Fields. Well it's been deleted off of Ohio state Football twitter account.
