The 49ers are doing their evaluation at the 2023 NFL combine, where they will evaluate some of the top college prospects in the country.…

General manager, John Lynch, spoke about their approach to the combine and the areas they will be focused on.

One area that Lynch highlighted is the quarterback position. He acknowledged that while they have a talented young quarterbacks in Brock Purdy, and Trey Lance, they will still be evaluating the quarterbacks at the combine. Lynch stated that "you're always looking to upgrade and make your team better." This thankfully suggests that they may be considering adding depth at the position.

Lynch also emphasized the importance of evaluating players' character and work ethic at the combine. He stated that they will be looking for "guys that love football" and have the right mindset to succeed in the NFL. This emphasis on character is consistent with the 49ers' approach under head coach Kyle Shanahan, who values players who are committed to their craft and willing to put in the work to improve.

Lynch also spoke about the importance of the combine in the team's overall draft process. He noted that while the combine is just one part of the evaluation process, it provides valuable information on players' physical abilities and allows teams to see how they stack up against their peers. This suggests that the 49ers will be paying close attention to the results of the various drills and tests at the combine in order to inform their draft decisions.
