NFL | Washington head over heels for Trey Lance?
North Dakota State QB Trey Lance may be a player the Washington Football Team may be willing to unload all their picks’ for, according to Michael Lombardi of The Athletic. ‘I think Washington is going to be the next team to unload all their picks to try to get a QB. I think they love Lance. I don’t think, I KNOW Washington loves Lance … I think they’re willing to go get him,’ Lombardi said.
Footballguys View: They can love Lance all they want, but they’re in no position to draft him. Lance could go as high as no.3 overall to the 49ers. If he gets past San Francisco, then teams like Denver at no.9 overall would likely scoop him up. If Washington LOVES him they’ll have to move up from no.19 overall to get him.
