49ers' GM optimistic about future roster improvements

The San Francisco 49ers are making major changes to their roster this offseason. Despite losing several key players, general manager John Lynch believes the team's future looks bright. The 49ers have let go of notable talents like Deebo Samuel and Talanoa Hufanga. Lynch sees this as a chance to make the team younger. The franchise has 11 draft picks this year, which they plan to use for a quick rebuild. Lynch mentioned, "The bottom line is you're always looking at years out." He is optimistic that the team can turn things around after not making the playoffs last season. He emphasized the need for flexibility in managing the roster. A key issue for the 49ers is their quarterback position. They want to keep Brock Purdy, but he has not yet agreed to a contract extension. If they cannot reach a deal, the team will need to rethink their plans going into the draft. With six picks in the first four rounds of the draft, the 49ers are in a good position to find new talent. Even if they struggle next season, Lynch believes the development of younger players could create excitement for the future.
