Immediately following the trade from No. 12 to No. 3, NBC Sports analyst Chris Simms, voiced his opinion.

Florio asked his PFT Live co-host who he thinks Shanahan is leaning toward with a draft still a full

The San Francisco 49ers knew a change was needed immediately after the 2020 season ended. At one point, the team had Super Bowl aspirations. The team ended up finishing with just six wins. Much of that had to do with the unprecedented number of injuries the roster endured. Much of that had to do with the unavailability of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. According to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, the decision to draft a rookie quarterback came soon after the season's conclusion.
