Never mind all of those mock drafts that pegged him going to the 49ers with the third pick. Jones was all-in as a Patriots fan. Turns out, that “Mac to San Fran” stuff was hogwash as the 49ers pulled a stunner and picked North Dakota State’s Trey Lance (who surely wanted to land in San Francisco, too).
“At the end of the day, you just kind of want to get the right fit,” Jones said. “Secretly, I really wanted to go to the Patriots all along. So I’m actually really happy that it happened. But it doesn’t really matter. You get picked and you’ve got to take the opportunity and take advantage of it.”
