Based on this year’s crop of draftable quarterbacks, the 49ers made the right move in dealing up for Trey Lance a year ago.
Who says the 49ers don’t have a pick in the first round of the draft?
Lance cost enough draft capital to leave the 49ers currently without a selection until the second round, No. 61 overall, and then they don’t pick again until No. 93 in Round 3. They have nine selections overall, however so coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch can be upwardly mobile if they choose to strike on a player they like.
The Rams got star wide receiver Cooper Kupp in the third round in 2016. Wide receiver Van Jefferson , Cam Akers and Taylor Rapp were second round selections, left guard David Andrews in the fifth , safety Nick Scott in the seventh . Defensive tackle Greg Gaines was a fourth-round pick . Trey Lance was taken No. 3 overall in 2021 and would likely have been the top pick in the upcoming draft had he stayed in school one more year.

Mike McGlinchey, the 49ers’ starting right tackle, was lost in November to a torn quadriceps and may or may not be ready to open the season. Veteran Tom Compton filled in when McGlinchey was out. “He’s more talented than any quarterback in this draft class and I don’t think it’s particularly close,” Jeremiah said. “If he’d have had a chance to go back to school, grow and play and develop, I think he would have been the first pick in this draft.”
