Trey Lance, another gifted quarterback who came from a dominant college team with a run-based offense, found himself in a similar situation to J.J. McCarthy three years ago. Both were drafted into win-now situations with veteran rosters, struggled early, got injured, and never received another meaningful opportunity to develop. Unlike McCarthy, Lance at least offered significant untapped upside and high-end mobility and arm strength as a prospect.

Lance is ranked the 2nd worst QB draft pick this century by the source. He started 4 games for the San Francisco 49ers after the team spent 3 first-round picks to move up to the 3rd overall pick to select him. The source identifies Lance as the worst of the four QBs who started 10 or fewer games this century (Lance, McCarthy, Lynch, Manziel) because of the extraordinary capital investment—three first-round picks—despite Brock Purdy's subsequent success saving the franchise.
