Now, the 49ers actually have to win.
General manager John Lynch has received a pass for losing since he took over the 49ers’ front office in 2017, because he inherited a terrible roster, replaced most of the players and watched many of those replacements get injured. In two years under Lynch, the 49ers have averaged just five wins per season.
If the 49ers win five games in 2019, Lynch could get fired. The rebuild can’t go on indefinitely. He needs to draft multiple players this week who can help the 49ers win at least eight games next season.
