Kyle Shanahan made it loud and clear that he believes there are three elite prospects in this year’s class. Mac Jones is a good prospect, let’s not twist it, but players selected in the top 3 are supposed to be perennials in the NFL.
It’s not Jones, not even close, at least not at this stage of his career. We already know that he is not as gifted as the other candidates, but also not mentally, despite the public perception.
He struggles with ball placement, vision, and his post-snap processing is far from where it should be. Relying on Jones to give back the value of THREE first rounds is too much to ask, and the 49ers will be crazy to take the risk.
This week, Alabama Quarterback Mac Jones is analyzed. As the NFL draft quickly approached, Jones’ shares continued to rise. There are recent reports that he is going all the way to third place overall after the 49ers, who have traded several future picks to jump so high in the draft. Why would Jones be a bad idea for the 49ers? In this episode, the film of all 22 coaches is used to analyze Alabama Quarterback Mac Jones.
