Shanahan has a system that he can jump into and actually play early while still developing. And I can't imagine San Francisco traded up to #3 to draft Jimmy G part 2.
Finally, I don't know what to think of Justin Fields. I simply cannot watch him play and separate him from Cardale Jones or Troy Smith or JT Barrett or Dwayne Haskins. Ryan Day says the ask him to do all the things an NFL QB will do but we simply know that's not true. However, right next to the criticisms I have about his ability to read NFL defenses and the like, I see draft experts I respect saying he has elite ability, especially athletically, and that he has a demeanor to be a winner at the NFL level.  |
Fields is the toughest evaluation, IMO. I see a lot of positives. Also see scary stuff where he freezes or hold on to the ball too long. Similar issues with Josh Allen in post snap processing. But his speed and arm can be used as a weapon if you let him attack deep a lot and get him on the move.
I think he could look a bit like Watson in the right system. Could look terrible if he went to someone stubborn like Nagy in Chicago.
