2. Looking for a LEO

Everyone is well aware that San Francisco is looking for a standout edge rusher this offseason. This year's draft class offers several viable options, namely Ohio State's Nick Bosa and Kentucky's Josh Allen. Lynch detailed what he's looking for in a prospect to fill that LEO role in Robert Saleh's defense.

"That's a guy that can win 1-on-1 rushes at a high rate," the GM said. "You have to have a guy who can close out games, close out halves. When you have them, they can be a difference maker."

According to Lynch, it sounds like the team's new defensive line coach Kris Kocurek will run less games up front. Instead, 49ers defensive linemen could spend more time going 1-on-1 in Kocurek's Wide-9 philosophies.

"He cuts these guys loose," Lynch said. "They're going to be playing with a quick trigger and getting after it."

3. Digging for Gould

It was a no-brainer for the 49ers to put the franchise tag on Robbie Gould. San Francisco was never going to let one of the NFL's best kickers walk out of the building in free agency. Although Gould will remain with the 49ers in 2019, the goal is still to sign him to a multi-year deal.
