The San Francisco 49ers move up nine spots from the No. 12 overall pick last month sent shockwaves across the NFL. News of the blockbuster move broke during Zach Wilson s pro day, taking a little away from the event as everyone tried to wrap their heads around the impact not just on the draft but on the NFC West and NFL landscape for years to come.
The move up to the No. 3 spot leaves San Francisco without a first-round pick in each of the next two years. Someone who knows a thing or two about building a roster without first-round picks is the coach of the NFC West rival Los Angeles Rams Sean McVay.

Private quarterbacks coach John Beck, a former NFL quarterback who spent time with the Miami Dolphins, Baltimore Ravens, Washington Football Team, and Houston Texans, has worked with former Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields this offseason. Fields, of course, is the favorite to be drafted No. 3 overall by the San Francisco 49ers.
Beck has also been working with Trey Lance of North Dakota State and Zach Wilson of BYU.
Matt Barrows of The Athletic wrote a feature about Beck this week. The quarterback turned coach worked with 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan during their time together in Washington, and the two remain close. That has likely been very beneficial as the Niners continue gathering information on Fields to go along with their homework on Trey Lance of North Dakota State and Mac Jones of Alabama.

An anonymous NFL general manager is
confident the San Francisco 49ers are going to select Alabama
quarterback Mac Jones with the third overall pick in the 2021 draft
on April 29.
The GM explained to Mike Sando of The
Athletic on Wednesday that Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan follows in
the footsteps of his father, former NFL head coach Mike Shanahan, in
evaluating quarterbacks. He said their time together in Washington
leading up to the 2012 draft, when the franchise selected Robert
Griffin III at the behest of owner Daniel Snyder but later took Kirk
Cousins, is an example.
