The San Francisco 49ers moved up to No. 3 in the 2021 NFL draft through a trade with the Miami Dolphins from their original draft position of No. 12 overall.
Many speculate that they made the trade to draft a quarterback, signaling that they are moving on from current quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.
A name that has been closely tied to the 49ers is former Alabama quarterback Mac Jones.
Whether it be mock drafts, visits at pro day or even analysts giving their takes, Jones and the 49ers has been a hot topic.
Fans have not been warm to this idea, as they’ve taken to Twitter to show their vehement opposition to the possibility.

I will die on this hill alone. The San Francisco @49ers did not invest 3 first-round draft picks to move up to draft QB Mac Jones. pic.twitter.com/39say2dQrW

If the 49ers select Mac Jones at #3, the problem isn't Mac Jones. It's Kyle Shanahan.
Imagine drafting a puppet system QB at #3 instead of a potentially transcendent talent.

Really hope this person re-subscribes when the 49ers do indeed draft Mac Jones. pic.twitter.com/gY74ocw8YV

And if the 49ers drafted Mac Jones, they would still have QB4 in the division for the foreseeable future, even if Jones meets his realistic ceiling. https://t.co/uuNhFv4ywZ
