NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Sunday that the belief is the San Francisco 49ers has appeared to narrow its focus on selecting either Alabama QB Mac Jones or North Dakota State QB Trey Lance, according to several sources.
Sunday’s update seemingly eliminates the possibility of the Niners drafting highly-touted prospect Justin Fields, whom several analysts list as the third-best QB prospect in this year’s draft.
Rapoport’s report also falls in line with the long-standing rumor that the team has had its eyes on drafting Jones third overall after months of scouting the former Crimson Tide signal-caller.
