Trey Lance will realistically be within reach

Why wouldn’t he? If he does well this year he has nothing to prove and is a sure top-5 pick.

Also, let's see what Jeremiah has to say. I'm sure that his won't be the last.

Accuracy: I say this all the time: Do not get caught up in completion percentage when evaluating accuracy. Lance completed nearly 67 percent of his passes, which is impressive, but the tape showed he was even more accurate than that number indicates. His ball placement is excellent. He really trusts his eyes and throws with anticipation, which allows his receivers better opportunities to run after the catch. He can layer the ball in the middle of the field (over linebackers and under safeties) and he excels on bucket throws (deep balls over the top).

Decision-making: I've never evaluated a draft prospect with this stat line: 28 touchdowns, 0 interceptions. You read that correctly. He had zero interceptions. When I saw that number, I expected to find an overly cautious player on tape. That wasn't the case, though. He is selectively aggressive. When there are big-play opportunities, he lets it rip and will fit the ball in tight quarters. However, he's very content to take his checkdown options if nothing emerges down the field. He makes full-field reads, and he's very quick to get to his third option before delivering the ball to the proper location.

Naw I’ve seen plays where he looks off safety’s and goes through progressions. The problem with evaluating him is that he rarely threw into tight coverage because his wrs were wide fuging open so much that he rarely had to throw with anticipation. Part of that has to do with how he stresses defenses with his legs, the other part has to do with the talent gap between NDSU and other schools. The arm talent is definitely there.
 

No he’s not gonna run between the tackles in the nfl but he can move and scramble and create plays with his legs. He’s a guy you draft to sit the bench for a year or two to learn. Those things you said are coachable but he for sure is nfl talented. If we have the right coaching staff to coach him up I would be excited to draft him. 

Agreeing with Rum what a world.

Beautiful deep ball. Rivals Lawrence on that and surpasses Fields. Can throw on the run pretty well though would love to see him put more of a spin on it.

Let him sit for a year. Maybe two. But he's my preference. I don't think he's as boom or bust as people are making him out to be.

If you're critizing him for throwing it to Wide open guys and want Firlds you're a hypocrite tho.

I like Trey Lance.

NDSU is playing a game against Central Arkansas in Oct just to showcase Lance so it's safe to assume. 

[top dawg]

Jeremiah explicitly said that Lance throws with anticipation and goes through all his reads.

Jeremiah isn't the only one.

You better get to know this guy!

And just so you don't put too much stock into Huddle scouts, here's a link to look at.

 

Can we stop all this tank for Lance bull poo talk? I means we aren’t tanking to take a QB so let’s stop this crap.

Do you even know what you're talking about, or do you just want to complain?

LOL. You were the one who started the thread about stop discussing tanking for Lawrence and here you are starting a thread about taking Trey Lance, who will be a high first round pick. I was being sarcastic but it went over your head.

Just funny to see the hey stop talking about taking Lawrence 1st, but Lance 5th or 6th would be awesome. I've already posted that I'm amenable to taking Fields or Lance, just want a high ceiling potential franchise QB.

Have you been on the sauce? I haven't said anything about tanking for anyone in any thread---ever! The whole notion is preposterous! Discussing possible draft picks and supporting tanking are two totally different things. 

FYI: Lance is the one I want anyway, and has been since I learned of him. If we draft first, which is still very much a possibility, I still want Lance, but it just so turns out that where we will probably end up after all is said and done should put us within reach of him.

Nope, not hitting the sauce, just find it comical that you started this thread:

And also now a thread about another potential top 5-10 pick at QB. We all know the team isn't tanking. I've already said that as well. Doesn't mean I didn't want them to tank, i.e. not sign Teddy and let Grier guide us to the promised land. Sounds like you are tired of hearing about Lawrence and prefer Lance, but your opinion is OK because it's not Lawrence. I prefer Lawrence, but it seems like you want a potential high ceiling QB like the rest of us. I didn't want to waste resources we could have saved (extra cap space, more comp picks) knowing we were just in an in between competing phase. We aren't so different, I'm just one of the folks not hiding my desire to get the QB I want.

I am and have been consistent with what I've said. I'm not a tank-for person. I'm a win as many games as you can and let the chips fall where they may person. I'm not gonna cry if we decide to keep Teddy, but I'm not gonna lie about wanting Trey Lance if he's there for the taking. If we outright skipped him, I'd be disappointed, yes. Would I trade draft capital for him? No, not at this point, and I certainly wouldn't agree with trading even more draft capital for Goldilocks. Am I upset with victories? Never!

have heard his name pop up here, havent watched him play aside from highlights a couple of months ago, but as far as discrediting him for playing at ndsu, jeremy chinn played at an even smaller school and he stands out on an nfl field

Are we sure he comes out?

I mean, what do you think the odds a player projected to go top 10 playing at a non BCS school stays put are?  If that's where he's projected after the season, I see no reason whatsoever for him to stay in school.
