Like all NFL, 49ers to work from home from ‘absolutely huge draft’

John Lynch recently said a work-from-home approach will not be an excuse for “an absolutely huge” draft for the reigning NFC champion 49ers.

Now every other team will have to conduct business the same way.

The 49ers’ brass and those of all NFL teams must be at their private homes when making draft picks April 23-25, the NFL announced Monday.

All team facilities will remain closed indefinitely, a safety measure the 49ers were at the forefront of doing when they locked up their Santa Clara headquarters March 13.

“I’m thankful for the terrific work that our entire staff — from our scouts, our coaches, our IT, our video — to get ready for this draft,” Lynch said in a video tweeted from his home office March 27.
