Chris Simms basically confirmed what many have been saying - Kyle has final say on every player. Total power.
But I'm sure there still will be people who will cite the press conference 7 years ago that Lynch is the one constructing the roster lol.

I use too listen to his pod on B/R because it was entertaining. I don't listen to his for actual football stuff though

All the pro bowl skill position players in the world won't help if your QB is running for his life

In all honesty though, their O-line was holding 49ers D-line to save Mahomes lives. It was there for all of us to see.

Chris is pretty spot on with this. But it's nothing new, we knew Kyle has been calling the shots. I do think he sort of runs out of time to watch all the tape and let's the scouts pick on the last day (hence why we do much better picking in later rounds).
So far we have come through with savvy free agent pickups and late round steals. But wow how good could we be if we picked better in the first three rounds. We are a 3 point sharpshooter that can't make free throws.

Personally I think Kyle knows he's going to miss Adam Peter's, and so he's going to lean a lot more on his staff (in the future) to help him pick players. After all I think that's how Purdy was picked. I think Slowick, Griese advocated for Brock, and John said let's pick him vs him going to undrafted free agency, and Kyle went with it. I'm hoping his thought process is, well if it worked for Purdy and that last round, maybe it will work in the first couple of rounds too.
