Having to move on from a core group of players on an NFL roster can be a tough process for general managers. For San Francisco 49ers' GM John Lynch, Buffalo Bills' GM Brandon Beane provided a great model to follow.

The San Francisco 49ers appear on track to avoid a major flaw in their long-term contract negotiations with QB Brock Purdy.

While the 49ers had a draft that they feel good about, Shedeur Sanders was the main talking point. After being a projected top-five pick at one point in the pre-draft process, Sanders wasn't selected until the fifth round. Finally, the Cleveland Browns traded up to land him with the No. 144 overall pick.
