The San Francisco 49ers opened up their draft room to MMQB’s Peter King during the 2017 NFL draft, and it resulted in all sorts of insight about the organization. Plenty was positive, but there was a negative story that came out. King reported that sources in the 49ers organization told him they were not sure if Colin Kaepernick would rather do social justice work full time.
That led to a lengthy news cycle, and reflected on the 49ers previous period as a leaky organization. General manager John Lynch has repeatedly said he wants the organization to have transparency, and not have numerous leaks like we have seen over the past three years.
