I love seeing people overreact to the press conference. Perhaps I’m guilty of this myself, too. You ask one person, and they came away thinking, “Jones is definitely the pick.” I saw the same with Lance, and even Fields.
Speaking of Lance, we’ll be interviewing him today.
1. The 49ers traded up for a “starting” quarterback.
Shanahan used that word 12 times. He made it clear he wants a rookie quarterback who can start, which is different from what he and Lynch said immediately after the trade. Back then, they said they wanted the rookie to sit and develop behind Garoppolo.
