I won't play Monday morning QB and say they should have drafted Parsons or Chase even though both were super highly regarded in the draft.

I'm not even criticizing decision to draft Lance since I will be the first to suggest he has legit upside and Jimmy G for all of his winning with the Niners has been proven to be injury prone but just how far the Niners moved up for him. The cost to move up considering were the Niners were starting from was not cheap. Most people had him as the 4th or 5th QB selected at the time the Niners made the trade.

When Chiefs traded up for Mahomes, they only moved up as far as they had to. They didn't move up to 3. And realistically Chiefs more desperate for QB upgrade given Alex Smith's age.
