Thing is it's hard to judge how a player does moving from playing small time ball in college to big time ball in the pros and you only have the 2019 season to go on. Also missing a entire season of competing surely doesn't help smooth out mechanics and does bring up how committed he is to the sport.
If the 49ers traded all that draft capitol to move up to the 1.03 then draft Lance a QB with limited exposure to the sport, it might top the screw up the Bears did in moving up for Trubiskiy. I'm rooting for it.
Lance didn't opt out of the season but it was canceled save for 1 game.
And the interviews I've heard from people that are working with him is that he has cleaned up his mechanics. If you want to work on your mechanics it's really better that you don't play because if you're in the process of working on your mechanics during the season you're more likely to revert to bad habits in the heat of the moment.
No doubt he's the riskiest pick out of the big names but his upside is immense and he could end up being the best one out of the class so it's definitely a swing for the fences move if they do take him. But given what I've heard that he has an extremely high football IQ and is incredibly hard working I'd be willing to gamble on that potential.
