The Thrilling Finale Of Fargo!
#1
Draft intrigue at 3-4 shifts to Fargo … With the 2021 draft now just over 10 days away and counting, the focus of NFL personnel people will be on Fargo where star North Dakota State QB Trey Lance will be the featured attraction at a special pro day event on Monday. And we probably won’t know until tomorrow exactly which teams will attend Lance’s work out; however, we know already that both San Francisco and Atlanta, which have the 3rd and 4th picks respectively, in this year’s opening round, will have full complements in Fargo.

In particular, the 49ers will be there with G.M. John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan as they try and finalize which QB they will be taking with the 3rd pick. The consensus around the league still appears to be that the 49ers will take Alabama’s Mac Jones at that spot, but San Francisco is doing a lot of due diligence for a team that supposedly has made its choice.

Meanwhile, Atlanta will have first choice at Lance if the 49ers indeed opt for Jones and the reports out of the Falcons camp is that they are still very much debating whether to take the QB themselves even if it means sits behind veteran Matt Ryan for a year or two, trade the pick to another team that needs a QB, or keep the pick and select one of this year’s stellar non-QB prospects such as Florida TE Kyle Pitts.

For the record, the NFL Network has a special ‘Path to the Draft’ scheduled for 4 PM ET Monday afternoon so they may have some coverage of Lance’s workout.

I have Trey Lance as my top QB. Crazy i know. But here's how I see it. They're ALL boom or bust. All of 'em, even Lawrence. If I'm a GM, I'd go with the most Mahomes-like QB in this draft. With apologies to Wilson, thats Lance. If he goes to a team where he'll get a year on the bench, watch out year two.

Hard to argue with that. Very curious to see if Shanahan changes his mind before the draft.

He won't end up in MN, but Kubiak is very high on Lance per source

craziest statement made this draft season yet, could Trey be the best after all is said and done?  Sure but to rate him #1 right now is just being bias.  Trevor is a generational prospect that is the consensus #1 since stepping foot on the Clemson campus.  It may not end up that way but no way you could rate Trey above Trevor at this time.  Sadly the Vikings will have no chance to draft either I believe.

Huh, that's funny, I just did.

OK, to be fair, I think Lawrence will have the best rookie season among all the QBs. In fact, I think it could rival Dan Marino's rookie season as one of the best ever. 

But that's not what I'm doing here. And that's not what GMs should be doing either. Jax ain't going to a Super Bowl any time soon, with or without Lawrence. They should be picking the QB they think will be the best 2, 5, 10 years down the road. And they probably are. They probably think Lawrence is that QB. I'm just saying I think Lance will be that QB. 

I could be wrong. Hell, I thought Heath Shuler was the best damn QB prospect I'd ever seen. But I've learned a few things since then.
