I can get with that and Brad liked Trey
But i don’t really see this move.
Maybe in two years when Trey is a free agent
Why do you have to take shots at my Alma Mater?

Lance would be fairly affordable
But, I’d rather go in a different direction.
Historically, it reminds me of when Gus Frerotte, a 7th Rd pick in 1994, No. 197 overall, beat out Heath Shuler, Rd. 1, No. 3 overall in 1994, for the starting job in 1995.

Note- I’d never ever drink any of that shit. Hyperbole for effect.
Now, some manhattans and some dark and stormys, yeah boy.
Wowwww good call
Lynch/Shanny passed on Mahomes.
They tried to make up for past mistake and take his stunt double from D3 Phi Tappa Kegga @Weaselpuppy was his recruiter
Basically passing on Mahomes cost them twice big time.
I got Lance 5-1 odds and 4-1 odds to be the #3 pick that draft…strictly for that reasoning
I only drive 104mph in and out of traffic when Im sober…(and maybe a few times when I was chasing someone on the job…like from Indianapolis to Toronto…allegedly)
Overqualified, it is a bitch…
I was torn on Lance and liked Brock.
I don’t think anyone else on the board mentioned Brock besides me. I even started a thread about him.
Funny thing is Lance landed in the ideal situation. If he can’t make it in SF I doubt he can make it anywhere else.

This the biggest hurdle, not the draft compensation.
If I told you the Lions gave Lance a 2 year 20 million fully guaranteed contract how happy would you be? Now add the loss of draft picks.
For comparison; taking a project QB in the 3rd round is effectively a 4 year deal for 5 million over the course of the contract.

You could also have an offensive package for Lance, and it would force defensive coordinators to plan for the possibility of Lance coming in at any point during the game.
Now the issue is he’s going to be very expensive for a backup because he was picked so high in the draft. I believe he’s due like 20 mill over the next 2 seasons, that’s a lot of money for a clipboard holder. He’d be one of the most expensive backup QB’s in the league for sure. Maybe the most expensive actually.
Forget what I just said… now I’m interested for sure after reading this. He’s much cheaper than I thought. It would be 9 mill over 2 years. not bad at all.
While the Lions will have missed out on the first two years of Lance’s affordable rookie deal, they won’t carry any of the heavy signing bonus ($22 million). Lance only has salaries of $940,000 and $1.055 million left on his deal and roster bonuses of $2.8 in 2023 and $4.255 million in 2024. In other words, he’ll cost just north of $9 million over the next two seasons.
Not only should we NOT trade for Lance, we should take this as a useful lesson about burning high picks on a rookie QB when you already have a competent starter. I can’t say SF definitely would’ve won it all if they’d kept the 12th pick in 2021, and their 1st-round picks in 22 and 23, to bring in studs at other positions. But spending all those resources on Lance certainly didn’t make them any better.
DO NOT DRAFT AR/LEVIS. DO NOT TRADE HIGH PICKS FOR TREY LANCE.

That’s why our situation is so unique. We won’t be in this position again (drafting top 6) and don’t have to give up capital for a potential “blue chip” QB prospect. It’s something that should definitely be considered. I’m not advocating for it, but it makes a lot of sense.
The SF scenario isn’t a deterrent to not take a QB in this draft. It’s actually a reason why you should…takes zero draft capital to get one (potentially).
And again, it’s not what I want, but I would understand it.

Lol…you do understand that nobody had a high grade on Brock including the 49ers.

I had him in several of my mock drafts early that year around the 6th to 7th round. I liked his footwork and his ability to get the ball out. However I thought his arm strength would be a problem in the NFL.

I’d rather have Hendon Hooker.
Pass.
