Wow. I am in shock. Trey Lance has some unbelievable talent. He has a big time arm. And it’s a high level athlete. And I think @49ers and Shanahan just couldn’t turn down the possibilities Trey Lance can bring to his awesome offense.

TREY LANCE: BEST COMBINATION OF TANGIBLES AND INTANGIBLES IN THIS DRAFT. FILM JUNKIE. HIGHEST FOOTBALL IQ OF THESE QBS. CHIP ON SHOULDER. DRIVEN TO BE GREAT. GREAT CHARACTER. 6-4, 224. QUICK RELEASE. QUICK/FAST. CAN MAKE YOU MISS OR RUN OVER YOU. PERFECT FOR KYLE SHANAHAN.
