49ers GM John Lynch On Swapping Picks With The Bears

The 49ers and Bears swapped the Nos. 2 and 3 picks in the draft, and the Bears used the selection on Mitch Trubisky.

The 49ers also received the Bears' 2017 3rd & 4th Round picks (#67 and #111) and its 2018 3rd Round pick.

GM John Lynch says he would've taken Reuben Foster at No. 3 if Bears had taken Solomon Thomas.

The 49ers gave up their second-round pick (No. 34) and the fourth-rounder they got from the Bears earlier in the day (No. 111) for the Seahawks' first-round pick (No. 31). Niners then selected LB Reuben Foster from Alabama.

"Man, who do they want? Gotta be Solomon, right?"

49ers GM John Lynch didn't expect the Bears to take Trubisky. https://t.co/jLXs0OzvZ1
