John Lynch, Kyle Shanahan discuss day 1 of the 2017 NFL draft

John Lynch Opening Comments:

“How’s everyone doing? I’ll just start by saying that I want to thank [CEO] Jed [York] and the entire York family for their support during this whole process and a lot of people, [vice president of player personnel] Adam Peters, [senior personnel executive] Martin Mayhew, [chief strategy officer and executive vice president of football operations] Paraag [Marathe], who just did an excellent job today with the various trade scenarios that we were working through and eventually pulled off. I want to thank [head coach] Kyle [Shanahan] because when we’re in the midst of kind of putting this whole thing together, he took the time to be there in all of these draft meetings, as did his staff.
