49ers Screwed the Pooch With Trey Lance Trade in 2021

in WildWest Football Board

Gave up two firsts (2022 & 2023) and a third rounder as well to go from 12 to 3.

That is 3 bodies they sure could use right now.

Picking a QB is apparently the hardest thing in life….well after picking a wife of course.

49ers acquire No. 3 overall pick from Dolphins; Miami gets No. 12 pick, two future firsts

And if Purdy wasnt the highest rated QB in NFL last year Darnold would have taken his job….

It was the worst trade in 49er history period. Everyone knew it at the time except the 49er brain trust. Fortunately adults took over and they realized the mistake and moved on. Most organizations let their egos take over and try and prove they were right. The smart organizations move on.

.....and that terrible mistake was at least partially redeemed by the miracle of getting "unknown underdog" Brock Purdy as last player picked in the next year's draft. That made up for at least one of the 1st Round picks.

Absolutely saved their ass.
