Giants request permission to interview 49ers’ Adam Peters and Ran Carthon; Bears inquire too

On Monday, head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters that no one had reached out to the San Francisco 49ers to request an interview with a member of the team's staff.
"No one's told me that [a request has been made] yet today," Shanahan said.
That has changed.
The New York Giants have reportedly requested permission to speak with 49ers assistant general manager Adam Peters and 49ers director of player personnel Ran Carthon, per Peter Schrager of NFL Media and FOX Sports.
Peters is expected to be a hot name for NFL teams seeking a bright mind to fill a general manager vacancy. Peters and Carthon joined general manager John Lynch's staff in 2017.
Peters joined San Francisco as a VP of player personnel. Before that, he was the Broncos director of college scouting and served multiple roles within Denver's scouting department. Carthon previously served as the director of player personnel with the St. Louis and Los Angles Rams. Before that, he was a scout with the Atlanta Falcons.
"We've got a good staff here," Shanahan said. "And what [Peters] has done for us in our five years here, and how much he's helped us build this, what Ran Carthon has done, we've got a lot of guys here who I feel very fortunate to have."
Former Giants general manager Dave Gettleman retired at the conclusion of New York's 2021 campaign.
Update: The Chicago Bears have also inquired about Carthon, per Albert Breer.

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

We're just 10 days away from the start of the 2024 NFL Draft. While many gain more confidence about their projections for the top of the first round, the picture of what might happen further down remains murky. Most predict the San Francisco 49ers will use their first selection, No. 31 overall, on an offensive lineman. However, an early run on the position may alter those plans. The 49ers may address another position, or they may have to move up to secure a top prospect.
