Rich Eisen is confident that the 49ers will select the quarterback with the No. 3 pick of the 2021 NFL Draft.
Disgusting confidence, even.
He demonstrated that punishment in Thursday’s episode of “The Rich Eisen Show” when he received a question about whether the prospects were that San Francisco would draft a non-quarterback at the position – such as LSU receiver Jammer Chase or Florida tight end Kyle Watts – To support quarterback Jimmy Garpolo. Essen responded by asking the caller what his most “unwritten” article of clothing was. Answer: A supernatural, sweaty sweat.
“So let’s take that sweatshirt. If the 49ers pick a player other than a quarterback on draft night, I want you to send that piece of cloth to me. And I’ll eat it. I’m the Rich. Will eat it at the Eisen Show. Next Monday. I’m pretty sure the 49ers are fully preparing a quarterback as a third and they traded all that draft capital for a player to support James Garoppolo. did not do. “

To be fair, the evidence points to the 49ers for a quarterback. After all, you don’t trade a 2021 third-round pick and a first-round pick to move nine spots to a receiver or tight end in 2022 and ’23. Even if they were sold outright on Chase, Pitts or Alabama’s Devonta Smith or Jaylen Waddle, chances are at least one of them will be available at No. 12 on draft night.
The question is which quarterback will San Francisco choose with its new position. Mac Jones has become a popular choice, but the general consensus is that coaches will choose between Kyle Shanahan and GM John Lynch, Justin Fields and Trey Lance.
Sporting News’ Vinny Iyer projects to take the Lans with the third overall pick (and the eighth for Carolina and Jones for the fields to go ninth overall in Denver). He ranks him as the third, fourth and fifth order quarterbacks after Trevor Lawrence (No. 1) and Zach Wilson (No. 2), respectively.
