It sounds like the San Francisco 49ers haven’t made a decision yet on what to do with the third pick in the draft.
According to Adam Schefter, the team traded up with the belief that Mac Jones would be suitable, but the gap between the former Alabama star and Trey Lance has closed significantly. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

Just how closed is the gap? Schefter said as of this past weekend, the 49ers had no idea who they are going to draft third overall Thursday night.
You can listen to his full comments below.
“As much as the 49ers love Mac Jones, and they do, I believe that the gap between Mac Jones and the other QBs like Trey Lance has been narrowed considerably … I can tell you over the weekend they did not know who they were going to take.”

Inject this kind of chaos right into my soul. Inject this kind of chaos in the souls of football fans everywhere. This is what we live for.
The fact the 49ers traded up for the third overall pick and didn’t have any idea what to do as of this past weekend is truly incredible.
Lance must have made one hell of an impression if he’s given the 49ers this much pause heading into Thursday night.

The 49ers better hope like hell the guys they pass on don’t become stars while their pick busts. That’s the kind of decision and outcome that costs people their jobs.
Who do I think the 49ers will go with Thursday night? As a betting man, I’d bet that it’s probably going to be Jones. It seems like the signs have been pointing that way for awhile, but at the same time, I truly just don’t know.

Thursday night should be full of fireworks! That much is for sure.
