John Lynch addresses Josh Gordon pursuit and why 49ers did not make a trade The New England Patriots did a deal with the Cleveland Browns this week in which they acquired wide receiver Josh Gordon and a seventh round pick in exchange for a fifth round pick. It remains to be seen how much playing time Gordon will see this weekend or even the rest of this year http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authentic-arik-armstead-jersey , but if he is able to play, his talent could be a huge upgrade for the Patriots.San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said over the weekend that the 49ers had called the Browns and were doing their due diligence. Both Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan have regularly talked about considering any option that can potentially improve the team, and Gordon was no different.When word got out that Patriots completed a trade for Gordon, plenty of 49ers fans were upset. The 49ers have some intriguing wide receivers, but there are question marks around the group. Lynch and Shanahan have defended their receivers regularly, and have made it clear this is the group they want to build around.On Thursday, Lynch made an appearance on KNBR Fred Warner Jersey White , and he was asked about the deal and what kind of value they put on players when considering trades. He did not come right out and say the exact reasons the 49ers did not do the deal, but he offered a big hint.I did some quick research, and three 49ers coaches spent time with the Cleveland Browns at the same time as Josh Gordon. That includes head coach Kyle Shanahan (Browns OC in 2014), tight ends coach and assistant head coach Jon Embree (Browns TE coach in 2013), and wide receivers coach Mike McDaniel (Browns WR coach in 2013). Lynch’s comments would seem to make it pretty clear one or more of these three did not think Gordon’s potential was worth the off-field issues.Some of the complaints about not trading for Gordon came up in part because it came so soon after Khalil Mack was traded to the Chicago Bears. Whenever a big name comes available, fans are quick to call for a deal to be done. Lynch said that doing these kinds of deals depends a lot on where your team is at.Jimmy Garoppolo was a blockbuster deal, and maybe we see more in the future. In the meantime Womens Aaron Burbridge Jersey , Lynch understands fans are going to push for these kinds of deals. In fact, his own family members get in on the action, regardless of whether a given player is actually available. The responses are all over the place"We’ve talked about options at wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers today. I want to spin it. There are plenty of good players still available. Looking at the teams needs, the draft was always going to shape up well for them. The first-round was no different. With only two wide receivers taken off the board and one cornerback, the 49ers are sitting pretty at No. 36. There will be a run on the receiver position to start the second round. That’s what the talking heads are saying. With that in mind, who are some players that you hope the Niners avoid tonight? Honestly, my two were selected in the first-round. I didn’t get the vibe from CB Deandre Baker that he was a difference maker. In the case of N’Keal Harry Womens Trent Taylor Jersey , I can see his value, but not being able to consistently separate will hurt. Tough to rely on a receiver that primarily wins contested situations. When I asked the question on Twitter, the most popular answers were LSU CB Greedy Williams, and Ole Miss WR D.K. Metcalf. That was surprising. Another thing that’s surprising is not many folks are interested in offensive line. I wonder if that’s just because it’s not a flashy pick. Who would you avoid? If not players, now about positions?
