John Lynch Says 49ers are Open to Trading Ninth-overall Pick

The San Francisco 49ers have their first victory of the new year, winning Friday’s coin toss against the Oakland Raiders to claim the ninth-overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.

Here’s what you should take away from the flip. Many draft analysts are projecting as many as four quarterbacks to go in the top 10. Should that be the case, the 49ers would be assured a top five non-quarterback prospect. It also means that there’s a greater chance at a team looking to trade up in the draft if one of the top passers remains on the board at pick No.
