Chris Collinsworth reckons it's Lance at 3
3. SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (VIA MIAMI, VIA HOUSTON): QB TREY LANCE, NORTH DAKOTA STATEI don't believe the Niners traded up with Trey Lance in mind. I will always think that Kyle Shanahan traded up to get Mac Jones, but the fan base revolted. So, the 49ers go the developmental route with Trey Lance and let Jimmy Garoppolo play one more year.
Lance will eventually give the 49ers that final element: a QB who can run on bootlegs opposite those stretch runs. San Francisco already fields the most creative offense in the NFL, and Lance may add that final piece that proves too much to stop. At the same time, the FCS product has so little experience against top competition that this is still a very risky move.
