Nick Wagoner gives an update on the open spot at safety: “It looks like there will be a battle again at safety. Marques Sigle and Ji'Ayir Brown were first up with Malik Mustapha rotating a bit with Sigle in this practice. Sigle had an interception on a ball thrown right to him by Mac Jones and Mustapha later had a nice PBU on a deep ball intended for WR Ricky Pearsall.”

Buy-low quarterback currently ranked QB29 (135 PPR overall) and easily obtainable for 2nd/3rd round picks in trades. The source argues there aren't 32 quarterbacks better than Mac Jones in league perception despite recent undervaluation. Trade strategy: acquire at discount, hold for value increase at trade deadline or next offseason when he lands elsewhere (prefers to stay in San Francisco but will move). Can be flipped immediately post-trade without needing to start him. In startup drafts, target in 14th-16th rounds; in rookie drafts, willing to trade any 2nd-round pick for him due to upside trajectory.

In 11 appearances including 8 starts for the 49ers in 2024, Jones posted a career-high 69.6% completion rate on 289 attempts for 2,151 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 6 interceptions; the Niners went 5-3 in his starts. Jones said he 'acquitted himself well' and remains 'excited' to continue learning under Kyle Shanahan. He expressed confidence that 'I know I can play' and belief that if given another starting opportunity, 'I can really elevate people around me.' Jones is the 49ers' backup to Brock Purdy on a two-year deal signed in 2025 free agency; the source notes the Niners never received an offer they couldn't refuse, electing to hang onto Purdy's backup. Jones acknowledged the difficulty of the backup role—'It's hard when it's Brock's team'—but expressed readiness for his next starting opportunity.

The source recommends overpaying for Mac Jones as a backup QB with significant spike potential; currently available in the 14th round (1409 ADP) after his value has fallen, presenting a buying opportunity. The source's thesis is that if Brock Purdy gets injured, Mac Jones will be traded to an AFC contender team needing a QB, which will dramatically increase his value. The source expects Mac Jones to increase in value when he signs a deal somewhere next year, making the current discount a smash buy. The 49ers' leverage and Mac Jones' stated commitment to the team create a scenario where a desperate AFC team would overpay to acquire him mid-season.

Brian Thomas Jr.'s career in Trevor Lawrence's starts (via @​FantasyPtsData): - 11.8 FPG - 13.1 XFP/G - 1.94 YPRR - 18.5% target share In Mac Jones' starts: - 19.3 FPG - 18.2 XFP/G - 2.67 YPRR - 30.3% target share I still can't believe this narrative from last summer worked
