Overview
- Mac Jones remains with the 49ers as reports say San Francisco wants at least a second-round pick to consider a deal.
- With the draft nearing, Heavy reported that teams that miss on a quarterback could target Jones.
- Fox Sports analyst Ralph Vacchiano proposed sending Jones to the Steelers for picks No. 53 and 216 as insurance behind Aaron Rodgers.
- Sports Illustrated’s Mark Morales-Smith floated a swap with the Vikings for J.J. McCarthy and a fourth-round pick, which Yahoo Sports argued makes little sense after Minnesota signed Kyler Murray.
- Heavy noted that trading Jones would be risky for San Francisco given Brock Purdy’s injury history and the need for a reliable backup.
