Contributing sentiments towards policy:
55% : But they also saw the potential of grabbing Fields, Lance or Jones, depending on how picks No. 2 through No. 11 played out.51% : Jones, after spending one season with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2024, signed a two-year, $7 million deal to be the No. 2 in San Francisco, replacing Josh Dobbs behind Purdy.
49% : But that wouldn't have happened for them at No. 12.
47% : In between the first round, the New York Jets took Zach Wilson at No. 2, the 49ers traded up for Trey Lance at No. 3 and the Chicago Bears selected Justin Fields at No. 11.With the exception of Lawrence, those QBs -- Jones (49ers), Wilson (Miami Dolphins) Lance (Los Angeles Chargers) and Fields (Jets) -- are all on their third teams in five seasons.
42% : Why did the 49ers draft Trey Lance over Mac Jones? The 49ers, sitting at No. 12 overall ahead of the draft, had no shot at Lawrence.
