While Trey Lance is expected to deliver a lot to the 49ers over his career, cutting down on the team’s interception numbers would be a great start.
Ultimately, whether or not the San Francisco 49ers were right to trade up to No. 3 overall in the 2021 NFL Draft to select North Dakota State quarterback Trey Lance will hinge on his abilities to be a true franchise-caliber signal-caller for the next five-plus years.
The Niners are gambling big on Lance’s upside.
