John Lynch 49ers Draft History
Every year, the NFL Draft is something that fans of all NFL teams look forward to. Unfortunately, some teams/general managers are better at drafting than others. Today, we’ll be taking a look at John Lynch’s history drafting for the San Francisco 49ers.
We’ll be giving you the year of the draft, the round, pick, name, position, college, and whether or not that player is still currently in the NFL.
Note: Of course the 49ers are one of those teams who’s GM has only been around for a few seasons so his numbers are to be taken with a grain of salt. More in-depth analysis will be made after all 32 teams have their basic info available and it will be before the draft.
