SB Nation’s Niners blog, Niners Nation, is trying to figure out what the heck is going on in San Francisco. Various reports are indicating that GM Scot McCloughan is on his way out but there’s been no official word from the team.
Would McCloughan’s Departure Affect The 49ers Draft Plans?
If he is indeed gone for an extended absence, 49ers director of player personnel Trent Baalke is expected to assume the bulk of his duties.
Niners Nation wonders whether this will affect the 49ers draft plans.
I would imagine the team has to be fairly prepared at this point for the draft. Yes there are still Pro Days to be had, but a month before the draft, do you really think the team didn't already have a decent portion of their draft board figured out? Does anybody see any change in strategy with McCloughan now on some kind of "extended leave of absence"?
