Jeremiah: Nick Bosa is the ‘no-brainer’ pick for 49ers as they enter pivotal year for Lynch and Shanahan
General manager John Lynch's and head coach Kyle Shanahan's first two years with the San Francisco 49ers have produced just 10 combined wins. The team has been devastated by injuries and the only bonified star to emerge from the duo's first draft class is tight end
George Kittle — a fifth-round pick.
Lynch and Shanahan signed six-year deals upon taking on the task of rebuilding the iconic and once-proud franchise. While their jobs may not necessarily be on the line entering their third seasons with the 49ers, what happens in 2019 will be very telling, assuming the injury issues are rectified.
NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah
joined KNBR on Monday morning and was asked if this upcoming draft was a particularly important one for Lynch and the 49ers.
"Absolutely," Jeremiah responded on the "Murph and Mac" show. "I think this whole year, and it starts with the draft, is a pivotal year for both the general manager and the head coach. They've got to get the quarterback to stay healthy, and they've got to put the pieces around him where they can start showing some progress.
"I think this is a huge year, and one of the reasons when you kind of look at their options on what they can potentially do (in the draft), I just keep coming back to the same thing, especially if
Kyler Murray goes No. 1. I just think (with) Bosa, you're putting that thing right in the middle of the fairway. To me, that would be the no-brainer pick."

Daniel Jeremiah weighs in on 49ers potentially trading up in the draft
Today, NFL Media draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah spoke to the media during a nearly two-hour conference call, fielding questions about the 2024 NFL Draft. One question surrounded the possibility of the San Francisco 49ers trading up in the first round to increase their chances of landing an impact player.
Depending on the 49ers' priorities, Jeremiah only believes a significant move is necessary if the team tries to target a couple of defensive positions.
"I mean, they've got a nice haul of picks here, so if they want to move up, they absolutely have the ammunition to do so," Jeremiah stated. "I just think when you look at the needs that they have and some of the different areas that they could go, if you're thinking about corners and edge rushers, maybe you miss
Daniel Jeremiah's final mock draft has 49ers adding another weapon for Brock Purdy
NFL Media analyst Daniel Jeremiah unveiled his fourth and final mock draft, projecting the San Francisco 49ers to select Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy with the No. 31 overall pick.
While many anticipated the 49ers bolstering their offensive line in the first round, Jeremiah's choice may raise eyebrows. However, with seven offensive tackles already off the board, he opted to provide third-year quarterback Brock Purdy with another explosive target.
"This is my favorite fit in the first round," Jeremiah explained. "We saw what Tank Dell did in a similar offensive system with Houston, and we know what Mike McDaniel has been able to build with so much
Breaking down the 49ers drafts under John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan
We are less than one week away from the NFL Draft, and the San Francisco 49ers have their first day-one draft pick since 2021. That was the year they selected QB Trey Lance number three overall. The trade-up to get Lance cost the 49ers their first-round picks in 2022 and 2023. And now that they are back in the first round, at pick 31, fans are anxious to see what the team does with the pick. And with former assistant GM, Adam Peters, now in Washington, it will be interesting to see how well the 49ers draft without Peters in the room.
We looked back at the seven drafts GM John Lynch and Head Coach Kyle Shanahan have led to see what information we could pull from those drafts. There were plenty of hits, plenty of misses, and a few surprises along the way. The draft picks are
Rumor: Steelers believe they can acquire 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk at a bargain
According to Sports Illustrated contributor Noah Strackbein, who writes for "All Steelers" on the network, there's a level of confidence within the Pittsburgh Steelers organization that they can strike a deal for San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk—and at a bargain rate.
"According to a team source, the Steelers and 49ers trade talks are real," Strackbein wrote. "While nothing is imminent, they 'would be surprised if it didn't happen.' But it all comes down to compensation, and Pittsburgh isn't willing to budge much on price."
While it seems unlikely that the 49ers would part ways with Aiyuk for anything less than a first-round draft
