Just got done watching it expecting something to be there based on comments being made but their is literally nothing to gleam except McGlinchey is getting his option picked up and the biggest reason they are moving on from Jimmy is his injuries.

Pretty much the entire presser was non answers or what else are they supposed to say answers.

As far as body language goes I just saw two guys that haven't gotten much if any sleep probably just come out of the film room to do their mandatory press event.

I was thinking it was odd to a have presser a few days before the draft. Why do it when you're gonna have one on Friday anyway? So we know a few days early that McG is getting his option picked up?

The point seemed to be "Please trust that we've done our research and evaluated everybody, we've taken our time and been very thorough, and at the end of the process we fell in love with the guy all of you hate. Please just trust us." Seemed like they (esp. Lynch) are aware of how people feel about Jones and want to get ahead of the reaction.

Spent 2 months checking in with @treylance09, as he tried to help NFL teams separate fact from fiction and find the right spot in Thursday's NFL draft, amid a global pandemic, no less: https://t.co/oIxK6qAoTW

It's a great piece. I keep circling back to Eisen's show last week when he said that he was hearing from sources the 49ers are on Lance and it's always been Lance. It would be scary, but very exciting.

Same. When we first traded up I preferred Jones over Lance but I've flipped.

Regarding that one "game" this yr

The guesswork left out important factors. Like how three weeks before kickoff, his roommate tested positive for COVID-19, which meant 10 days of quarantine and missed practices. Lance also could have transferred to any number of major college programs and played a full season last fall. He never considered that option, out of loyalty. He called a meeting of the team's leadership council, and they debated collective needs, like for the players who weren't on full scholarship, who paid to play. Lance argued that one game would give them closure—and perhaps a chance to catch the eye of evaluators there to see the quarterback.

his QB coach talking about him

Lance flew to Atlanta soon after the non-showcase showcase and began his off-season of workouts with Avery, the private QB coach. Avery did not believe that Lance needed an extreme makeover; he already understood protections, drop backs and coverages that counterparts from spread systems often don't learn in college.

Lance's size-speed-ridiculous-arm-talent combo appeared tailored for traits desired in modern, mobile NFL quarterbacks—and Avery sought to make small refinements in throwing mechanics, footwork and motion efficiency. For instance, he helped Lance shorten his release while the duo trained six days each week for months, crisscrossing from Georgia to Florida to Fargo to Tennessee. Avery has come to believe Lance has the strongest arm of any quarterback he has trained, pros included. He also sees Lance as the "most natural" runner for a quarterback in this draft, prompting the Josh Allen comparisons. Like Allen, Lance combines a rare skill set with untapped potential; sometimes, Avery marveled at how Lance, in one day, could apply tweaks that took others weeks to master. He sees Lance less as a project and more as NFL-ready—"the most in his class"—right from the start.

Avery came to like one play in particular: Y-Leak, a staple for Kyle Shanahan, Niners coach and owner of the third pick on Thursday. "I don't think you'd see it in any other quarterback's script," Avery says. In the concept, two receivers split wide on one side of the field, then run crossing routes at varying depths. The QB fakes a handoff to the back and rolls while the tight end, originally aligned on the side of the formation opposite the receivers, feigns that he's blocking. The tight end crosses the formation and "leaks" downfield, opposite the roll, into the space the receivers have vacated.

He's got all those intangibles people rave about to go along with all that athletic ability. And he has zero character issues, past or present.

I know no DUI or weird tweets.

The guy with the A++ intangibles is Trey Lance.

This SI article, and things like it, is going to make me so pissed if we pick Jones.

Trey is someone you want to root for; someone you'd be PROUD to root for. I really want to see him on that post-game podium in Santa Clara. Ugh.

However, when Shanahan talked about "taking that anxiety away," regarding the anxiety fans feel about Jones, together with the smile by Lynch, I'm pretty sure that's a rap.

Looks like it's McCorkle. Unless that smile was a "we got you man."

They have to do a presser, every team does it about a week before the draft

I have a new working theory... Lance is gonna be the pick. The niners leaked Macs name originally to prep the fanbase and reaction was worse than feared. The pivot to Lance makes sense if they have the two real close to begin with and Kyle can now always say he didn't get his guy if it goes wrong. So Trey is the pick, Kyle loves the kid and gets all the credit if he's amazing but has an out if it doesn't quite work out.

Kyle also said he wanted a QB that was nothing like Mac for about 6 months...maybe we take these pressers overall a little to literal?

I felt the questions asked overall were related around Mac and none of the other QBs.

Seems you could switch the QBs and flip Shanahan with Lynch and tell the same story. I hope you're right, but as an eternal pessimist I think it will be Jones.
