Instead of San Francisco playing it “safe” and confirming all the pre-draft buzz around Mac Jones, John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan rightly gambled on Lance’s sky-high ceiling, which is especially apparent in the latter’s run-heavy offense.
Thursday, DraftKings took a $75,000 bet on Lance to go third at even money, according to a company spokesperson.
3 pick was its most heavily bet market of the draft as well.
“Banks is not the type of lineman often projected for the San Francisco 49ers’ zone stretch.
”The 49ers made a wise move to help out their new quarterback in Trey Lance, but Banks was a Day 3 prospect who would have been a much better value in the fourth round,” wrote Easterling.
So the Rams win this deal by five points, which is the equivalent of a sixth-round pick.
