A bleary-eyed John Lynch, coming off a long night of commiserating with 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan at the NFL owners meetings at the swanky Biltmore hotel, measured his words carefully Monday morning when he was asked about the team’s plans for the NFL Draft.
“Experience always hardens your beliefs that you better be prepared for everything,” the general manager said. “We’re certainly taking that purview that we’re going to be prepared from every angle.”
Lynch and Shanahan are approaching their third draft since taking the keys to the franchise in 2017. They’re expected to add a player to improve their defensive front, with Ohio State’s Nick Bosa, Alabama’s Quinnen Williams and Kentucky’s Josh Allen the favorites for the No.
