49ers-Seahawks delayed due to weather

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan joined the Rich Eisen Show on Monday morning and discussed the team's interest in Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers leading to the draft.

Kittle's agent told him that he felt the former Iowa tight end might be selected as high as the second round, if lucky. However, most likely, they were looking at somewhere between the third and the sixth rounds. The 49ers ended up selecting Kittle in the fifth round, No. 146 overall, but

Field Yates of ESPN reported today that the San Francisco 49ers have finalized their decision on who to draft at No. 3 overall. "I'm told the work is done in Santa Clara," said Yates.
