The San Francisco 49ers are in a hole. The good thing is they have a lot of rope. Now it is up to general manager John Lynch and the front office to do something with that rope.
Beginning March 11, 2019, they can get to work. Will they be fashioning a noose or a ladder? The answer to that question may not be immediately apparent.
The Niners front office lost out on acquiring EDGE Khalil Mack from the Oakland Raiders in 2018, as he found himself with the Chicago Bears instead. Lynch has stated he was aggressive in his attempt to acquire the All-Pro defender.
