What Should the 49ers Do with the No. 3 Overall Pick?
NFL.com assembled a panel of experts to debate what they think the 49ers should do with the third-overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Here's what they had to say:
Joe Thomas:
"You don't give up the No. 12 overall selection, a third-round pick and first-round picks in 2022 and '23 to draft a non-QB. You just don't. I would be downright shocked if the 49ers went that route. Ohio State signal-caller Justin Fields would give this offense a high ceiling as an extremely accurate passer and great athlete, two qualities that fit perfectly into Kyle Shanahan's system."
David Carr:
"They should take Justin Fields. His ability is wide-ranging with an arm that can reach any area of the field and the athleticism to extend plays with his legs and put pressure on the defense. Imagine what Kyle Shanahan' offense will look like with Fields under center. It'll be unlike anything we've seen in the past."
