49ers select QB Trey Lance in Chad Reuter’s latest mock draft

Today's trades have left analysts scrambling to update their mock drafts. The San Francisco 49ers are suddenly in a position to select one of the top quarterback prospects. Trevor Lawrence will almost certainly go No. 1 overall to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The New York Jets are expected to select Zach Wilson with the No. 2 overall pick.
NFL Media analyst Chad Reuter
released an updated mock draft and has Lawrence and Wilson gone by the 49ers' spot at No. 3. Still, it leaves San Francisco with several options, and Reuter has the team going with former North Dakota State quarterback Trey Lance.
"The 49ers pulled off a major trade with the Dolphins on Friday, moving up nine slots to presumably land their quarterback of the future," wrote Reuter. "We're not sure which quarterback they love enough to give up two future first-round picks and a third-rounder, but for now, I'll run with Lance. His athleticism and arm strength could be an excellent fit in Kyle Shanahan's offense."
Lance (6-4, 226) appeared in just one game in 2020, throwing for 149 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception while adding 143 rushing yards and two more scores on the ground in a 39-28 victory over Central Arkansas. He completed 66.9 percent of his passes for 2,786 yards with 28 touchdowns and no interceptions through 16 games as a sophomore in 2019.
Reuter's colleague, fellow analyst Daniel Jeremiah, also feels
all signs point to Lance being the selection at No. 3.
"Trey Lance brings a whole new world of imagination for your offense with what he can do, and the plays he can create, and being able to use him in some of the quarterback run game as well," Jeremiah said on NFL Network's
Path to the Draft.
Reuter's mock draft runs through the first four rounds. He has the 49ers selecting former Clemson running back Travis Etienne in the second round (No. 43 overall), former Minnesota cornerback Benjamin St-Juste in the third round (No. 102 overall), and former Stanford center Drew Dalman in round four (No. 117 overall).

Graziano: Don't rule out the 49ers drafting Trey Lance at No. 3

It's a foregone conclusion that Zach Wilson is going No. 2 overall to the New York Jets. With Trevor Lawrence a lock to head to the Jacksonville Jaguars at No. 1, that leaves the San Francisco 49ers with their choice of Justin Fields, Mac Jones, and Trey Lance.
Many are predicting that the trade up to No. 3 was made for Jones. Others feel that is a massive reach that didn't necessarily require a move into the top 3. ESPN's Dan Graziano warns fans not to overlook Lance as the quarterback of the future in San Francisco.
"All you hear is Mac Jones, Mac Jones to (the) 49ers," Graziano said on ESPN's Get Up! "I mean, that's all over the league, and it could happen. He could be their guy. But conversations that I've had in the last couple of days have led me

Justin Fields of Ohio State will hold his second pro day workout on Wednesday, April 14. San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch are expected to be in attendance. Both missed the former Buckeye quarterback's first pro day to attend Mac Jones' workout in Tuscaloosa.
Shanahan and Lynch will have an opportunity to see quarterback Trey Lance of North Dakota State in person too. He will hold a second pro day on Monday, April 19 — 10 days before the start of the 2021 NFL Draft.

Zierlein: Trey Lance is the perfect playmaker for Kyle Shanahan's 49ers

It's been nearly two weeks since NFL Media analyst Lance Zierlein released his last mock draft. In it, he had the San Francisco 49ers selecting Trey Lance of North Dakota State with the No. 3 overall pick instead of Justin Fields of Ohio State or Mac Jones of Alabama.
It doesn't sound like his opinion of what head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch should do come April 29 has changed. While Zierlein's colleagues, Steve Wyche and Maurice Jones-Drew, made excellent cases for Fields to be San Francisco's pick, Zierlein stuck with his choice of Lance and defended the decision during a segment on NFL Network.
