The 49ers have been doing a lot of talking lately. Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch have given multiple press conferences since the draft started last Thursday. Shanahan has done interviews on various shows, and even Jed York talked with Matt Maiocco yesterday. Everybody wants to know the dirty details of the Trey Lance selection, when Trey Lance will start, how Jimmy Garoppolo feels about it, and on and on. On today’s Niners Nation Gold Standard Podcast, I offered up a simple piece of advice: stop talking. It isn’t doing you any good.
There are only two reasons to speak with the media if you’re in the NFL:
1) It is mandated by the league
2) To sell something (either a narrative or a product)
The post-draft press conferences have already sold the narratives the team wants out there.
