you might be right but I'm thinking it's Trey Lance.
I think SF wants Mac Jones.
Accurate as all hell. But isn't amazingly athletic or doesn't blow you away with a huge arm. Like Matt Ryan. Or Kirk Cousins. Two QB's Shanahan loved.
Settling in at 3 should guarantee them Jones, as all the pre-draft buzz has him nowhere near the top of the draft.

Niners get their QB in Zach Wilson I bet
If the Jets pass on drafting Wilson, there may no longer be a shred of hope that they'll ever get it right at the QB position. I could see a building team not wanting to trade up for him, but if he's sitting right there for the taking that's another story. If the Jets are saying that Darnold is their QB, well, bless their hearts. They try but the poor things just don't know any better.

I don't think you give up what SF gave up for Mac Jones.
We shall see though, never know who these teams hone in on as "their guy."
Mac Jones has zero athleticism. Doesn’t seem like a good fit to run the boot/play action game the Shanahans love to incorporate.

I would expect Jimmy G to be traded to the Pats. That to me seems like the most logical spot for him. They didn't want to let him go in begin with.

He is more of a fit for the Pats honestly

Yeah, a number of mocks have the Pats taking Jones if he falls to them.
I reckon the 49ers will take Wilson if the Jets don't, else Fields. They could take Lance and have him sit a year, but I'm thinking if you make that trade you do it for someone that's pretty much a day 1 starter. Especially if you can get a decent trade for Jimmy G.

Of course he has athleticism. I think you're confusing athleticism with mobility.

2 more lawsuits against Douchaun Watson. Up to 18.
Of course he has athleticism. I think you're confusing athleticism with mobility.
I was going on what Greg Cosell said about him, some highlights from his interview on the Ross Tucker football podcast
- highly efficient executor and ball distributor in a really good Alabama offense
- main question - how important to you are movement and second reaction ability? In today's NFL you constantly hear that this has become an essential trait.
- because Mac Jones is a bad athlete, almost no ability to play outside structure whatsoever
- very good sense of anticipation, good timing
- some pocket movement, not great, but enough that it's not a negative
- really good feel for throwing in zone coverage
- knows where to go with the ball quickly
- a lot of good mental traits, but also virtually no movement and second reaction traits.
- need to understand what he is and what he isn't when you draft him
