The San Francisco 49ers finally finished paying off the expensive bill it cost to move up in the 2021 NFL Draft. Just a few months after giving the Miami Dolphins its third and final first-round pick to trade up for the raw passer Trey Lance, Kyle Shanahan is reportedly ready to move on. In his place is Brock Purdy, a seventh-rounder who attempted 170 passes in his rookie season thanks to Lance’s injury. Lance attempted only 102 passes, 13 fewer than Desmond Ridder, who is still an unknown commodity at this point.
Trey Lance is the latest young QB cautionary tale. What can the Falcons learn from this?
