John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 4465

4ML · 2017-01-29T17:29:58-08:00

Lucked into Shanahan but Lynch as a GM? Wtf?? So many qualified GMs 49ers interviewed...and in the end - they decided to hire a guy who has ZERO experience working in a NFL Front Office. He has ZERO experience as a scout at any level. I understand, so many potential GM candidates rejected 49ers. But, to hire a guy who has never held a position that is in no way related to a day-2-day job profile of a GM is unbelievable. I'm sure Lynch is a smart guy...he was a smart player...but that has NOTHING to do with being a GM. Why take the risk at this time? --------------- edit: After having some time to digest this news...wish him all the best and I hope he proves ppl wrong. Still don't understand why we needed to take such a risk but it is what it is now. I do have to say - his first presser made a positive impression.

The jags won't accept that. They're probably looking for something similar to what Marvin harrison jr got

Honestly his mid and late round picks are pretty good. Guys like Mike Evans are great in free agency. He's just so bad early in the draft it's horrible. Trey Lance and others come to mind. He's like a mixed bag. If you just let him pick middle and late rounds you would end up with a pretty good team.

Just trade away our early picks and stock up in the later rounds.

Both the 2025 and 2026 drafts are starting to look real good. If they can strike it rich again next year, wow!

My hope is they get an under valued free agent player dirt cheap before the trade deadline. Or maybe sign a Bosa or something like that.

I would give up a conditional 3rd that can become a 2nd. Would give u 3 young WR going forward

Would rather see what Cleveland wants for Jeudy. Good route runner that does drop passes from time to time.

Not sure where else to put this, so putting it here. I was definitely down on the quality of the roster after seeing how Seattle and LA came together last year. Eating some crow now and hoping for seconds as the season proceeds.
