What will the #49ers do with pick No. 27? Did John Lynch offer pre-draft clues?

Trent Williams is almost 38, but he remains committed to playing indefinitely.

"I sat down with Trent. ‘Where are you at? What's on your mind? What's on your heart?’ And so that gave us a great feel.”

#49ers mock draft: An answer for every Niners need, plus a Day 3 trade

How did John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan feel about past antics from their top wide receivers?

The way they both discussed Mike Evans and Christian Kirk is a rather large clue.

www.sfchronicle.com/sports/49ers...

“We know in the NFL there’s a lot of divas. There’s a lot of guys that come back to the huddle and they’re always open ... Mike was never that guy. It’s rare to talk about ‘unselfish’ at a position that is intrinsically selfish. But that’s who Mike is." #49ers

A high-performing WR1 who is low maintenance?

The #49ers past -- trade requests, sideline tantrums, social-media shenanigans -- helps explain their excitement about anti-diva Mike Evans.

“I love getting, for lack of a better word, men at the position”

www.sfchronicle.com/sports/49ers...

For #49ers, Mike Evans is a departure after years of diva WR behavior

Kyle Shanahan looks different. In season 10, however, he sounds the same, suggesting he's not leaving the #49ers anytime soon.

Kyle Shanahan has caught Bill Walsh. Expect him to keep going.

The #49ers, who are always banged up, shopped in the Banged-Up Bargain Aisle in free agency.

Isn't it unwise to assume even more injury risk?

“Ideally, you’d always want to sign some ... healthy guys. That’s not what’s always available at the store.”

SHANAHAN
In order to have Christian be as good as he can be throughout the whole year, we’ve got to get someone helping.

Why Kyle Shanahan is kidding himself about his plans for Christian McCaffrey

Jed York said some surprising things at this week at the NFL owners meetings.

Among them: The 2025 #49ers were the league's "19th-most injured team."

And everyone said: Huh?

www.sfchronicle.com/sports/49ers...

Jed York discovered the #49ers signed Christian Kirk, who was added in mid-March, on Sunday.

“I’m like, ‘Why the hell is (Shanahan) talking about Christian Kirk?' I’m like, ‘Is this tampering?’ I had no idea that we signed Christian Kirk.’”

Jed York maintained that he hadn’t ruled out Brandon Aiyuk playing for the #49ers in 2026, although there are a host of reasons his claim should be met with skepticism.
