A look at this year’s quarterback class indicates 49ers did the right thing trading up for Trey Lance a year ago.
SANTA CLARA — The 49ers have a first-round draft pick Thursday night whether or not they trade Deebo Samuel.
The cost of doing business for going all-in on Lance and moving from No. 12 to No. 3 was three first-round draft picks. As it stands, the 49ers have no first-round pick in 2024, either. The 49ers did their heavy lifting a year ago with Lance, and they’ve got a legit prospect and a quarterback of the future instead of just a 2022 lottery ticket.
Trey Lance of the 49ers played well in his Jan. 2 start against the Houston Texans at Levi’s Stadium. Nhat V. Meyer/Bay Area News Group Lance has an entire year of Shanahan’s system under his belt on a playoff team. He knows the job is his, and he’s been working to refine his mechanics and arrive at the off-season program and OTAs with the plan to hit the ground running and throwing.
All Shanahan’s visions of playing Lance and Samuel at the same time and creating mismatch nightmares are in jeopardy until such a time as the 49ers’ “wide back” determines he’s fine with the compensation and the role that made him one of the NFL’s most explosive players last season.
