Niners Nation on Mac Jones

Day 2 pick price tag for Mac Jones; 49ers unlikely to trade despite backup value.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports it would take real draft capital—perhaps a Day 2 pick—to acquire Jones from the 49ers in a trade. The 49ers have said they aren't interested in dealing him, and it would require significant desperation from another team to change their minds. Fowler notes that for a team to part with a second- or third-round pick, they'd need to believe they have a legitimate playoff shot this year, making a Jones trade unlikely given San Francisco's current 3-0 record and roster depth at QB.
