Baalke to meet individually with 49ers assistants today

The
departure of San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh has left the positions of much of his staff in limbo. Team general manager Trent Baalke will meet with the 49ers assistants today to let them know where they stand with the team.
Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio has already stated that he would not follow Harbaugh and the team would likely want to keep him on staff. In fact, he, along with defensive line coach Jim Tomsula, are believed to be strong internal candidates for the head coaching position.
It seems unlikely that the team would retain offensive coordinator Greg Roman, but little has been discussed about that.
Harbaugh is believed to be returning to his alma mater at the University of Michigan to take over their vacant head coaching position. They reportedly offered him a 6-year, $48 million deal and Michigan officials reportedly flew in on Sunday to meet with Harbaugh.
The head coach needy Oakland Raiders were rumored to be making a strong late push to acquire Harbaugh, but for whatever reason, according to local Bay Area media, those rumors quickly fizzled.

Who will it be? Justin Fields of Ohio State or Trey Lance of North Dakota State? Or could the San Francisco 49ers go in another direction?

Breer: 49ers started looking into drafting a quarterback after the season ended

The San Francisco 49ers knew a change was needed immediately after the 2020 season ended. At one point, the team had Super Bowl aspirations. The team ended up finishing with just six wins. Much of that had to do with the unprecedented number of injuries the roster endured. Much of that had to do with the unavailability of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.
According to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, the decision to draft a rookie quarterback came soon after the season's conclusion. That's when coaches and front office personnel started doing extensive homework on the incoming rookie quarterbacks.

Last week's trade forced draft analysts to tear up their mock drafts and start over — at least, start over from the No. 3 overall pick. The Miami Dolphins used to be slotted there. Now, it's the San Francisco 49ers. Make no mistake, general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan are seeking a quarterback of the future. Who they are leaning towards remains a mystery.
NFL Media analyst Lance Zierlein released his latest mock draft and has selections No. 1 and 2 going as expected, with Trevor Lawrence to the Jacksonville Jaguars and Zach Wilson to the New York Jets.
At No. 3, Zierlein has San Francisco selecting former
