Niners trade with Miami move up to #3

BakoSaint · 03-26-2021, 01:56 PM

This is a really weird trade because its #3 not #1 or #2, and they made it way in advance where teams can possibly figure out who they are targeting and jump them or force them to trade more to move up further. They have to love all of the top 3-4 players on their board almost equally. With so much time, there is also a risk that if they love their top 3, one of those 3 could have an issue between now and the draft with misconduct or injury etc and slide, and then they better love their top 4. It just seems so much safer to make this trade closer to the draft, on the clock, or to find a way to get to #1 or #2.

I'm no GM, but it appears they have 2 guys ranked equally after Lawrence and are happy with either. I'm going on record to assume that they love Lance. He would fit the Shanahan QB profile just like RG3 back in the day.

I get it, but that’s an insane gamble giving up that draft capital for such an inexperienced QB in Trey Lance.

I agree. But I bet it happens. The way the hype is going, Lance's stock is on the rise. Not much talk of Fields these days. I could see him dropping.

Honestly, the fact that there isn’t much Fields talk these days makes him seem boring in the eyes of football fans... but not to GM’s. Hype is fan driven. Teams know who they want. It’s like when mock drafter’s get bored mocking Lawrence to the Jags so they try to justify Wilson at #1. If I were a betting man I’d say the 49ers have their eyes on Justin Fields.

Small school or not, Lance has that "it" factor. In the right system, I think he could become a very good NFL QB. Fields is kind of meh for me and I'm not sold on Trevor or Mac J.

Not sold on Trevor? I've seen a few say this. It kinda blows my mind. He's by far the best QB prospect since Luck. Before that it was Elway.
