Bold trade, bold pick: 49ers swing for the fences with Trey Lance

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- If the San Francisco 49ers wanted to play it safe in the 2021 NFL draft, they could have waited to take the player they liked best with the 12th pick.
But when the Niners traded that selection, along with two future first-round choices and a third-round pick in 2022, to the Miami Dolphins on March 26, the safe play walked out the door. The 49ers let the world know that they were willing to take a risk to get their franchise quarterback.
In the month that followed, the Niners were regularly connected to Alabama's Mac Jones, the quarterback widely considered to have the highest floor but the lowest ceiling. It's a move that wouldn't have matched the risk of trading up to No. 3 -- equivalent to stepping into the batter's box and simply looking to make solid contact after pulling your cleanup hitter.

49ers' pick at No. 3 a tipping point for Kyle Shanahan, John Lynch

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- These days, no matter where San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan goes, he's sure to be inundated with opinions about which quarterback he should select with the No. 3 pick in this week's NFL draft.
Whether it's a restaurant or his kids' soccer games, everyone from parents to referees weighs in on the draft's biggest question. His closest friends have taken to texting Shanahan's wife, Mandy, because their opinions have gone without a response from Shanahan himself.
"You do have to block that stuff out," Shanahan said. "You can't make decisions based off of that. ... You might add a little pressure to that person, add a little pressure to the organization but whether it comes now or it comes later, there's pressure for everyone in this sport and it doesn't matter. I'm happy we're going to get one that we like and that we've done it right."

Trey Lance, Mac Jones, Justin Fields? Experts debate best quarterback fit for 49ers

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Of the many decisions general manager John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan have made since they took over the San Francisco 49ers none are bigger than the one that awaits April 29.
After trading up in the draft, the Niners will use the No. 3 overall pick to choose their next franchise quarterback. The question now is which one?
"San Francisco had to make the decision to move up from 12 to 3 with the mindset that Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson were gone," Todd McShay, ESPN senior NFL draft analyst, said. "Maybe something changes but if you're John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan you have to make the decision to move up with that assumption. We're really talking about North Dakota State's Trey Lance, Alabama's Mac Jones and Ohio State's Justin Fields."
