The 2023 NFL Scouting Combine is this week, and 49ers general manager John Lynch will be making his scheduled visit with the media.

The 2023 NFL Scouting Combine kicks off this week from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, and it’s safe to say it’s one of the bigger events for the league’s offseason calendar and the lead-up to the NFL Draft in April.

Essentially every team winds up being represented at the NFL Combine, and the San Francisco 49ers will be no different this year.

Even though the Niners lack picks in the first two rounds.

General manager John Lynch will be busy late on day two of the draft, as San Francisco holds three compensatory picks in Round 3, and the 49ers will have plenty of action on the third and final day of the draft, too.

So, one would assume, Lynch will have a few questions to answer about his team’s plans when he speaks to the media from the combine.

49ers GM John Lynch will speak at NFL Combine on Tuesday, Feb. 28

Lynch will meet with the media at the NFL Scouting Combine on Tuesday, Feb. 28 at 2 p.m. ET from the facilities at Lucas Oil Stadium.

The first few days are reserved for orientation, and the actual on-field workouts won’t commence until Thursday, March 2.

However, Lynch and plenty of other front office types will be engaged in meetings, getting to know prospects and so on. Meanwhile, invited prospects will also be landing with agents, going through physicals and conducting interviews with teams.

Lynch probably won’t speak too much on those items, as this time of year is a classic “smoke and mirrors” campaign to hide the Niners’ true intentions (every other team does this, too).

Yet there’ll surely be some useful nuggets from his Tuesday presser anyway.
