John Lynch's Draft Reaches: A San Francisco Forty Niners Analysis

0:00On April 5, San Francisco 49ers fans have long called out General Manager John Lynch for reaching too high in the first round of the draft. New analytics from Cleve analytics back that up, ranking him second for most reaches since 2018, right behind Green Bay Packers, GM Bryan, Gute Kunst. The study used consensus mock draft boards to measure how much GM's deviate. Lynch stands out because he's never picked below those projections in the first round. He either hits the value spot or goes over it. Fans points a big outliers like quarterback Tray Lance and wide receiver Ricky Peersol as proof. Lance was seen as a reach over guys like Justin Fields and Peersol was projected mid-second round at best. Even if five of his seven first rounders were close to consensus, those misses fuel the talk. Now with the Niners sitting at pick 27, eyes are on whether they'll grab someone like left guard Chase Bistantes, who's mocked in the 40s, but could start right away. This history has mock drafters rethinking their boards, expect more wild predictions as the draft nears, keeping everyone guessing on Lynch's next.
