The push to give away multiple firsts for developmental guys like Lance is crazy. I could see staying at 8 and taking a shot with Lance or Jones but to me the only QB worth multiple firsts is Wilson. This is just getting crazy. Teams are so desperate for a starting QB that they are way over reaching for guys who in other years wouldnt be getting drafted in the top 10  for sure. And giving multiple firsts to move up. Speaks more to desperation than a truly outstanding class of QBs.

The market is different, but it is what it is; Kansas City traded up 15 spots and gave another third and a first to move up for Mahomes!

I find it just a tad hypocritical to say "I'd give up multiple firsts for Wilson, but not Lance." At the end of the day, they're all in the same boat, with lots to prove.

the niners packed in at Lance's pro day and then made this trade shortly after

Fields hasn't even had his and if you're giving up three 1's and change for a guy, especially without a combine, a PD is the kind of thing you wanna see

couple that with them telling garrappolo and the media they want him to start this season, and it suggests pretty heavily they're looking to redshift a developmental guy

arrows seem to be pointing Lance

You guys are getting it wrong. Every insider has Lance going #3 and projects that he’s the guy SF covets. Leaving Fields, who the Falcons will surely draft. They for damn sure wouldn’t deal with a division rival lmao

Falcons fans seem to think they aren't going QB, and after the Ryan restructure I doubt it too

Everyone acts like Lance is some finished product that everyone needs right away. He’s a developmental guy for a team that is not ready to compete. That’s us. He will fall to 8 and we’ll take him. TB will start next year, our new line and defense will gel.  Lance will get reps in practice and get his feet wet with a drive or two in the games. 
 

if lance is somehow not there, we move back far enough to grab a future first, and pick best available LT and Corner in rounds 1-2. Then go get Wilson next year.

the build is happening. A plan a and plan b is in place. Patience padawans.

Not even close. Wilson played for BYU who plays against other big time programs. Lance played for a  small school and small time competition and didn't play but 1 game in over a year.  The record is pretty clear. For every small school QB iprospect in the NFL who went on to a big career, there are tons who either didn't make it or never fulfilled their promise. Again I am not a huge fan of giving up multiple firsts for anyone but to do it for anyone else especially a project like Lance is nuts.

I'm not going to go back and forth about Wilson and Lance. Lance's upside is greater, period!

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
