   Less than four days away from the start of the 2021 NFL Draft,   
   the 49ers have reportedly set their sights on which quarterbacks   
   they're eyeing with the No. 3 overall pick.   
      
   NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Sunday that the belief   
   is San Francisco has appeared to narrow its focus on selecting   
   either Alabama QB Mac Jones or North Dakota State QB Trey Lance,   
   according to several sources.   
      
   Sunday's update seemingly eliminates the possibility of the   
   Niners drafting highly-touted prospect Justin Fields, whom   
   several analysts list as the third-best QB prospect in this   
   year's draft.   
      
   Rapoport's report also falls in line with the long-standing   
   rumor that the team has had its eyes on drafting Jones third   
   overall after months of scouting the former Crimson Tide signal-   
   caller.   
      
   In reality, the 49ers have done their due diligence on both QBs,   
   as evidenced by coach Kyle Shanahan and GM John Lynch attending   
   both Jones' second pro day on March 30 and Lance's second pro   
   day on April 19.   
      
   Lance has reportedly been working with QB coach John Beck, who   
   played under Shanahan in Washington. It's worth noting that Beck   
   also helped prep Fields for his second pro day earlier this   
   month.   
      
   NFL Network's Tom Pelissero recently listed Jones and Lance as   
   the fourth and fifth, respectively, in this year's QB class,   
   based on conversations with NFL executives, scouts and coaches.
