By Peter Felsch
No. 1: Trent Kirchner
It would take some luring away to hire Trent Kirchner away from the Niners’ NFC West rivals, Seattle Seahawks.
Although Kirchner doesn’t have the pedigree as an executive as some of the other names on this list, he has proved his worth in signing quality players through free agency who have been successful for the Hawks.
