I like field's makeup, the kid is a competitor and a half.I think Lance will be better if he can sit and get coached up for year but while I feel Fahey is being a bit harsh, he's not wrong overall. Trey's accuracy and ability to navigate a complex O are a concern. They all miss reads so finding examples like that are easy. The accuracy is a bit more concerning for a top pick and he did nothing on his pro day to dispel that. A question becomes, how much do you fix or just tweak? I think the Bears actually hurt Mitch by rebuilding him as much as they did and doing negative (anti mistake) coaching. Not that Mitch isn't at fault (twitchy, turtling) but you don't draft a guy to completely change his game or his approach to it.
I've made the Mitch compare but I don't see Lance doing the deer in headlights thing or becoming gun shy like Mitch did. If the 49ers take him, he'll sit for a year, get great, appropriate coaching and likely be successful. Feast or famine pick.
They're taking a QB. I see Fields and Jones as early starters and they are keeping Garoppolo this year. They could easily take Trey and give him the coaching he needs. It's too early a pick for him if you are just judging his game but Shanahan may see something that he feels he can correct in an appropriate manner and have his long term answer. The potential is there.
