And they picked up his contract. Dak just turned 30, he's got 5+ years left minimum. I guess 4th rounders don't mean much to some teams anymore. Kirko Chainz was a 4th rounder.

One of Jerry's boys now. Honestly, Niners got more than I thought they'd get.

@"MaroonBells" said: Didn't make sense for the Vikings because of Jaren Hall and the fact that the Vikings will likely target a QB in next year's draft. The Cowboys had career QB3 Will Grier as their 3rd QB. That's a little different.

The reports were that the 49ers had several offers, Shanahan said a 4th was more than they though they would get, so it is very possible the Vikes had an offer in on him and Cowboys decided to outbid everyone.  Kwesi has 49er ties and we were rumored to be interested in him previously, so I would think we probably were one of the teams with an offer.  

Looks like hes a Cowboy.  Saddle up bitches

A little more than I thought as well. But maybe we shouldn't be surprised. It's a QB...on a rookie contract...who was once a top 5 pick. That's worth something.

I don't get it (Vikes not pursuing Lance)...if in fact,  the NFL is moving towards multi-dimensional  QBs.  (like Lamar J, J. Love, Patrick M, Josh A, Trevor L, Anthony R, etc). 

Jaren Hall,  25 yo 6'0, 207lbs, 9 1/2" hands,  production score 74, athleticism score 82, total score 76.  Position rank in draft, 8th. 
Trey Lance, 23 yo 6'4 224lbs,  9 1/8 hands,  production score 83, athleticism score 87, total score 88.  Position rank in draft, 3rd.  

9'ers started him beginning of last year, with an otherwise loaded roster, before his injury.  

IMO, Serious mistake not getting him on the cheap.  Hope I'm wrong.

All of those draft metrics and position ranks are meaningless. You can either play in the NFL or you can't. And those metrics will have nothing to do with it.

The only metric that matters is that this was Lance's 3rd season. He was completely healthy and one of the NFL's best QB coaches decided he wasn't good enough to be a backup. And considering what the 49ers paid for him, the incentive to play him was high. That tells you a lot. 

Hall is a rookie. He may never amount to anything, but it's too early to toss him aside.

ITs solid logic @MB...

But I'm with Savvie on this one...I would have taken a 4th rd flyer on the kid. 

My logic isnt logical though, its homerism and gut feel. 

Its just so easy to root against this organization:

I’m not quite so absolutist, but I definitely think that
there’s just some people out there who’s personalities are so fucked that it’s
not worth investing roster spots in them. 
QBs are so valuable that they are given every chance to succeed.  If a team is cutting bait early, those are
massive red flags.  Like the conversation
with Mond.  Huge red flags that he’s out of
two teams already.  Obviously, if Purdy had
a couple of seasons under his belt and had established himself as good, and
they were just trading Lance to recoup value that’s a different thing.
I don’t think you should just be taking flyers on guys who have
big red flags unless you have a solid plan and reason to believe that you can
correct those red flags.  I think Reagor
is potentially an example of that. 
Historically, Reagor lots of problems, but then you have perhaps the
best WR coach in the league, and you’re thinking to yourself, maybe he can
convert that athleticism into production even though most other teams wouldn’t
be able to.
