SANTA CLARA -- Even though the 49ers have made significant additions to their defensive line, general manager John Lynch squashed the trade rumors regarding defensive lineman Solomon Thomas on Thursday night.
“That's not accurate,” Lynch said after the close of the first day of the draft. “We usually don't respond to every one of these rumors that happens in today's world.”
Lynch did, however, think it was necessary to have a conversation with the first player he drafted as a general manager of the club.
“I had Solly up in my office today, and we just talked exactly where he is,” Lynch said.
