## Resource

Trey Lance, the 2021 third-overall pick by the 49ers, is now ranked the worst first-round draft choice since 2020 — a staggering miss that cost San Francisco three first-round picks and a third-rounder. After playing just four games, starting two, and posting a 2-2 record, Lance’s career was derailed by injuries to his hand, knee, and ankle. His struggles were compounded by the rise of Brock Purdy, who seized the starting role and led the team to success — turning Lance’s expensive gamble into a glaring draft failure. Now a backup with the Chargers, Lance’s story is a cautionary tale of how high-stakes trades and injuries can derail even the most promising prospects.
