Would you give up a 3rd round pick for Trey Lance?

Sign me up. It's worth a roll of the dice IMO

Even if the Niners are receptive to potential trade offers for Lance after the season, they won’t come close to recouping that haul. Based on my conversations with several teams’ general managers (and other high- ranking front-office executives), Lance would be unlikely to net much more than a third- round selection, though it’s possible there’s a team out there motivated to give more.

Nothing more than a 3rd.

he's still relatively raw but a 3rd rounder for someone with his potential and pedigree is easily worth the "risk"

Would definitely give up a 3rd for him to see what he has.

No. Everything about this dude is based on limited playing time in FCS play. Now he’s had a major injury and his mobility may never be the same.

Trey Lance has the tough break of being probably a good player drafted way too high, then the added burden of immediately getting hurt. He'll need to be traded for 3rd round and up to relieve those expectations.

This has the potential to be like when Kwame Brown got picked first and then had a successful but not outstanding career, but everyone called him a bust because of when he got picked.

if they were asking for a first or even 2nd I get the reservations....for a 3rd? I mean come on, he's a better prospect and 3 years younger than Hooker

Which is why the price tag is "no more than a 3rd". His cap hit would be ~$3.7M in 2023 & ~$5.3M in 2024, and you have the 5th year option available. IMO, definitely worth considering for a low value pick; especially if the team is getting picks in return for Payton.

But, as another poster pointed out; would not touch him if my plan is to roll with Pete at OC. Need a more innovative OC that knows how to call plays to players' strengths.

I guess my question is does he even have any strengths? Not being a smart arse. I’m just not aware of a him really flashing in any way other than the amount of picks SF spent to get him.

its a small sample size for obvious reasons but here's baldinger breaking some film down

now the offense having to be completely retooled is a fair point but that needs to happen regardless. Hoping Pete goes with Sean wherever he ends up and the team knows this so they're sparing a long time guy from being fired. Probably wishful thinking though

Don’t get me wrong, we’ve thrown away picks on some dumb players over the years. I’m not completely opposed.

I’d assume we’d need to taylor an offense to a more mobile qb to get the most out of his cheap 3 years. Our roster already kind of in a state of flux. Just seems we’d have to be building in a different direction. But honestly I can’t tell you the type of direction we’re currently building in

Of course I’d give it up. The ceiling is through the roof and you don’t know what he is yet. He was raw and Shanahan would have got him to the next level. The only reason why i think it’s a waste is you’re gonna rely on Carmichael to develop him? And Allen? Lol. Don’t waste his time or talent

The way the Niners work the media, I wouldn't be shocked if they are HOPING to get a 3rd.

They do this all the time... leak information to a reporter that their spare QB is in demand. How many deals have happened?

I smell PR bullshite.

Doubts about future resilience due to injuries from a fanbase that won its first super bowl thanks to Drew Brees is so rich.
