San Francisco 49ers fans are fretting, hoping their team does not make the same quarterback mistake it made 16 years ago.
The Niners have the No. 3 overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft, which begins Thursday, and they plan to pick a quarterback they think can take them to the Super Bowl, maybe several Super Bowls. They can choose Mac Jones of Alabama or Justin Fields of Ohio State or Trey Lance of North Dakota State. The so-called experts expect the Niners to take Jones, which already has the 49er Faithful second-guessing the pick before it is even made.
