49ers Lynch on dealing No. 2 pick: 'We're open for business'

San Francisco 49ers first-year general manager John Lynch made it clear Wednesday that franchise was "open" to trading the No. 2 overall pick in the upcoming 2017 NFL Draft, and said that he had already received calls from other teams that have shown interest in the selection. But according to the team's new general manager John Lynch, the organization is "open for business" when it comes to fielding offers from other franchises to move up into the upper throes of the first round, per ProFootballTalk.

This week, draft analyst Tony Pauline, reported the 49ers are considering LSU running back Leonard Fournette with the No. 2 overall pick, which would enable them to turn the page on Hyde. The team has ten picks, and while moving from No. 2 to No. 1 would not come cheap, it is certainly a feasible option. "But I've always said you don't like being 2-14, but you like having the second pick because I think it puts you in the driver's seat". They could go in one of several directions with the pick.

"We've worked Mitch out and there's a lot to like about him".

Lynch said he's seen the projected top five quarterbacks in person: Mitchell Trubisky (North Carolina), Deshaun Watson (Clemson), Patrick Mahomes (Texas Tech), DeShone Kizer (Notre Dame) and Davis Webb (Cal). "Like I said, we're going to look at every possible scenario and we've done that". "From the beginning, I've thought that maybe the perception that this isn't a strong quarterback class", Lynch said. "We have 15 days, and a lot can happen in those days". "I think that's in the eyes of the beholder and we have our own feelings". I know it's fluid for us, the process.

Spoiler alert: Five of the six now have the 49ers standing tall in the second spot and taking Stanford defensive end Solomon Thomas.
