49ers 2019 NFL Draft News: GM John Lynch to Select 'Best Player Available'

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said Wednesday that the team's offseason moves will allow the front office to focus on selecting the "best player available" in the 2019 NFL draft.

Lynch said the Niners, who signed linebacker Kwon Alexander, cornerback Jason Verrett and wide receiver Jordan Matthews while also trading for defensive end Dee Ford, now have options when it comes to the No. 2 overall pick in the first round, which takes place April 25.

"In terms of what we did, it gave us flexibility," he told Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area.
