Ever think about how the 49ers would look with Patrick Mahomes or even Deshaun Watson on their roster rather than Solomon Thomas?
A few 49ers scouts certainly do.
In fact, some members of the 49ers scouting staff aired their frustrations to Bleacher Report about the way they’ve been “marginalized” by general manager John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan during the team’s draft-day decisions.
In the Bleacher Report story, those disheartened scouts questioned why their opinions are ignored by the 49ers team leaders, whom some scouts directly blame for questionable draft picks the past two seasons, beginning with the selection of Thomas in the 2017 draft.
