Trey Lance QB NDSU

Yeah I'm starting to lean back towards Fields again. That accuracy is too sexy.

Could be. But as long as we're taking a shot on one of them I'm happy.

Cant decide which of the 3 we'd be best with,...but that's unusual when you're picking a QB 3rd and a GOOD problem to have.

If it's true that the 49ers want a 1st for Jimmy, then that makes me think the pick is Lance honestly. Most people's reaction to the 49ers wanting a 1st is "Psch as if someone is giving them a 1st for glass Jimmy" as was mine. I'd imagine the 49ers know this as well, which then tells me they are sincere in wanting to keep Jimmy for the 21 season. If that is the case then Lance being the pick makes the most sense based on that info alone. Jones makes the least amount of sense, being as he is the most ready to start right away, again based on the keeping Jimmy scenario.

Whatever QB the Niners draft will have a MUCH higher chance to succeed than the QBs that get drafted by other teams in the top 10.

Certain QBs like Deshaun Watson are so talented that they can overcome being in poorly run organizations. I really believe guys like Lance, Jones, and Fields could boom/bust based on where they're drafted.

I agree with this take. The winner of the draft is the QB drafted 3rd by the niners. More than anything else, he'll be in the best situation to succeed, in much the same way Mahomes was.

Completely agree with most of this. DW didn't really overcome a bad organization as he went 4-12 last year. I think the QB that the Niner's draft will have the best chance to max their potential. I am OK with Fields or Jones. I'm not sure about Trey.

Absolutely. So logically, a good team like the 49ers should select the player with the highest ceiling in this situation. Knowing the situation in and of itself increases their chance of success.

I'm still Lance at #3. Question for everyone saying they needed more film/games. Do people really believe that he wouldn't have gotten even better or perform the same that he had been? Also let's not make out like there's not enough film on him to access his potential and his traits. I honestly feel like if he had played more he wouldn't even be a question for us at #3 or even perhaps the Jets at #2.

He played one game this year vs some of the best competition he's faced. It was one of his worst games and the only game he had a turnover in.

Why wouldn't people question what happens if he played more and vs better competition? Justin Fields had almost no bad tape on him after his first season at OSU.

He plays during this crazy season and suddenly people have issues with him.

The more QBs play means not everything improves. Some guys come out of nowhere, some guys take a nose dive.

You don't think him knowing he only had 1 game to show out he didn't try to do too much? I'm not putting stock in 1 game and I highly doubt he would've regressed this year if he played a whole season. Matter fact I would be willing to bet he would've been in consideration for the Jets

It was a showcase game so if anything he was trying to hard.

For me I'm torn between Lance and Fields but leaning Fields. The thing I like about Lance though is that we don't have to project what his footwork will look like in this system like we would have to with Fields.

I'm fine with either one but I think both QBs have serious question marks and enough upside to warrant a top 3 selection.

Exactly my point, a 20 year old kid knowing he only has 1 game he's going to be forcing, running all around and just trying to carry the team and not play his game. Like I said I'm not crying wolf 1 game

As great of an athlete as Lance is, to me the most compelling part of him as a prospect is his brain. The fact that he was able to coordinate a pro-style offense at such a young age, establish himself as the team leader as a freshman, has the smarts to actively improve his mechanical flaws, and reportedly obsesses over football is super impressive. This is why I think he's the target.

I'm fine with either Lance or Fields. The main reason why I give Fields the edge is his toughness, ability to elevate his game/be clutch in a game, and having gone through adversity which has showed up on film ie Clemson and Alabama. More of an It factor. If Lance also has that, I hope they pick it up through film and interviewing him etc.

I don't think Fields is part of the equation. My guess at Shannahans board is Lawrence>Lance>Wilson>Jones

If that's really his board the move to 3 makes even more sense.

I'm not convinced it is. I don't think anyone has a clue what his board looks like and any attempt to say so is mere speculation.

I'm just going to wait until draft night and be happy with whoever we get.
