QB Justin Fields (2019-20 B1G Off POY, 2020 Silver Football, 2019 B1G CCG MVP, Pittsburgh Steelers)

Did Steve Young go to BYU!? Would the Niners Pick the BYU kid over Fields?

Young was drafted by buccaneers though...

Young was drafted by buccaneers though...

But he is remembered for playing for the Niners not the Buccaneers...

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS MADE THIS TRADE UP TO DRAFT JUSTIN FIELDS

Meanwhile, the New York Jets seem to be out of the Sam Darnold business and preparing to hand their franchise to the best QB prospect to come out of Provo since Taysom Hill.

"Jets are gonna take Wilson at 2," an NFL front office member told me. "Draw your own conclusions about 3."

Fine, I will: Justin Fields is about to become a San Francisco 49er.

GM John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan all but declared this with the move the Niners made Friday.

San Francisco gave up two future first-round picks and a 2021 third-rounder to move up nine spots to No. 3 in the upcoming NFL Draft. You don’t make that kind of move, mortgaging your future, unless you believe you have a chance to draft the most important player to your franchise over the next decade.

The Niners also outlined for us what most NFL front office members and draft analysts have believed since January: There are three franchise quarterbacks in this draft class, and they’re all household names.



Lawrence. Fields. Wilson.

If the Jets decided to run a double move and draft Fields instead of Wilson, you can be just as certain that the Niners will draft Wilson.

Peter King wrote this morning that he's unsure of where Fields lands in the draft. His initial inclination is that the first four picks, all QBs, will go Lawrence-Wilson-Jones-Lance.

That seems absolutely crazy to me.

Please Lord.... anywhere but the Jets.

Pretty crazy from a pass first QB. If JF can learn to make decisions faster and not hold the ball too long he has the potential to be great. I just hope he doesn't end up in a QB run oriented offense like the Raven run. He could be deadly in a play action QB roll out type of offense.

Shannahan needs to take him in San Fran.

Teams are idiots to be thinking about Jones and Lance and whatever other average player ahead of Fields.

Yes, plz.

And 4.44??? I never thought he looked that fast at tOSU, Not slow by any means, just not that fast. I thought he was more a ~ 4.6(ish) guy.

If Reynolds was there, he'd have fixed those arms going too far outside... and without that slight stumble... he coulda been looking at 3.7

 

[AuTX Buckeye]

I just want Justin to go to a team and sit for 1 year ... except for garbage time.... please do not toss him out there... that is all.

Fields says he and BYU's Zach Wilson had a similar pro day script since they worked out in the same city and with the same quarterbacks coach (John Beck).

Just sayin': It would be interesting to know who John Beck would draft first, i.e. Wilson or Fields.
