Joe Thomas, the Hall of Famer turned podcast host, has predicted that the 49ers will snag Justin Fields with the No. 3 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.
Thomas, who co-hosts the ThomaHawk Show, has a connection with Shanahan as the 49ers head coach was his offensive coordinator with the Cleveland Browns during the 2014-15 season.
On Tuesday, a report surfaced that the 49ers were among the teams slated to attend Fields' second pro day, along with the likes of the Patriots and the Falcons.
