John Lynch

The third-overall pick in the 2017 was just one of three first-round picks that remained unsigned as of Friday morning, something that general manager John Lynch said was a cause for concern in Thursday’s press conference.

Just two hours before the San Francisco 49ers’ first official practice of the 2018 season, third-overall pick Solomon Thomas remains unsigned. With Thomas as only one of three first-round picks yet to sign, the situation has created a cause for concern, something 49ers general manager John Lynch alluded to during a press conference Thursday.

A tougher decision on the horizon for Lynch and Shanahan will be Reid’s future. The team did not draft either Jamal Adams or Malik Hooker at the top of the draft, leaving the door entirely open for a return. Reid is set to make $5.6 million in 2017, his fifth season in San Francisco.

One 49ers first-round draft pick was medically cleared for football activity. The other is still not with the team while agents negotiate his contract.

49ers legend Steve Young joined Murph & Mac on KNBR from South Lake Tahoe on Friday morning and said that the change in culture in recent months can be credited largely to Lynch and his personality.

It’s understood that one of Lynch’s main goals is to spew positivity about the 49ers. He’s actually been phenomenal at winning the PR battles. The 49ers really haven’t done anything wrong since he was hired on Jan. 30.

This is another move where the rest of the NFL passed on a player Lynch wanted. In April, it was Foster falling down the draft boards and the 49ers finagling their way back into the first round. Dumervil is less of a risk, but he’s been on the market for three months. Retirement was likely on his mind before the 49ers called.

49ers GM John Lynch joined Pro Football Talk Live for an interview to be released later this week, and spoke at length about his discussion with former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, that took place shortly after the hiring of Lynch and new head coach Kyle Shanahan .

The NFL Draft is officially in the rear view mirror and by most accounts, the new 49ers brain trust of John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan had a stellar haul.

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan joined the Murph and Mac Show on Thursday morning and gave a positive update on the status of middle linebacker Navorro Bowman
