It’s safe to say 49ers fans were on edge before Thursday night’s NFL draft.

The 49ers drafted North Dakota State’s Trey Lance. Predictably, reaction was mixed. Some loved it, others were fine with the choice, others were apoplectic. Perhaps most important, a key 49ers teammate tweeted his approval of the move shortly after the pick.

Love the pick

Predictably, this guy from Fargo was into it.

OK with the pick

Hates the pick

Super hates the pick

More reaction, non-fan division

ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweeted about the impact Lance made on 49ers coaches and scouts during the draft process.
