49ers general manager John Lynch wouldn’t tip his hand when asked this week about how the addition of former Chiefs pass rusher Dee Ford will impact San Francisco’s approach to the upcoming NFL Draft.
“Having Dee just makes us a better football team, and the draft’s something separate,” Lynch said Thursday as Ford was officially introduced to Bay Area reporters. “Yes, those two do interact at some point, but we’ll see. We’re going to go out there and look. At number two you want to have a great football player. That’s what we’re looking for and we’ll see where it ends up.
