here's kyle shanahan and john lynch on the team's thought process. >> we're trying to build it the right long haul but we feel we should have won the super bowl last year and we want an opportunity to win it again so every decision we made was also with how do we help this organization for the future, and still feel like we're in a position to be the same team if not better this year that we were last year. ek a better football team.s and that is really exciting. we were very happy, we were going to be working, we knew it would be a challenge to do that, and to put everything in place, and we believe we have an opportunity to be a better football team. and that's very exciting. >> for the first time in his nfl career, tom brady will wear a different uniform this upcoming season, signing with tampa bay this off-season, and recently kicked out of a tampa bay park for not observing stay-at-home orders, trying to get a workout in, apparently he hasn't forgot general i'm so happy to be in tampa bay. and i wanted to say thank you guys for welcoming me and my family into your community, with op

here's another look at the aft room for 49 ers general manager john lynch, those phones and monitors will be put to use tomorrow night and through the weekend. even though the forty-niners don't have many picks in themiddle rounds, the reigning chan still have a ton of exibility. i'm big on hold on that conference title 2 selections n the first round which can be used or traded for morpicks later on earlierthis afternoon we spoke with david lombar who covers the forty-niners for the athletic. he says the short term. those needs are to address the interior offensive line defensive line and secondary his take on what could unfold in round one. >>but foreigners of options right now with this drought. it's going to be really interesting to see how they really parlay their 2 first-round picks and number 13 and number 31 to attack those options i think it's mo a probable possibility is that they trade one of those picks baxley 45 middle rounds of 8 starts talking their roster because it's all about requesting replenishment of the nfl and i think testimo the 49 ers are in right now. around

championship, through for more than 5600 yards, 60 touchdowns, completed 66 percent of his passes, so on john lynch and kyle shanahan, each of them set up in their perspective homes, and the big question is, what will they do with their first two pics, the 49ers number 13 and 31. they see them taking a wide receiver like cd lamb out of oklahoma or jerry judy or henry rugs. as for the las vegas raiders, they hold pics number 12 and 19. and head coach jon gruden sure seems nice and relaxed tonight.>> raider nation, it's coach here with my dog gigi, getting ready for the draft. just want to tell you how excited we are to play in the new stadium in las vegas and get reconnected. >> las vegas, i'm still getting used to it, too, but it is indeed all about las vegas now. the raiders will finally sell their las vegas gear for the first time tonight after they announced their first pick. so there you have it, we are in wait-and-see mode for both the 49ers and the raiders. and then we will come back and announce those pics, hopefully mark will have those for us at 6:45.>> it certainly is an interesting night

john lynch will not tell you a whole lot about what the 49ers strategy is, of course, as usual, that changes with general managers and coaches but he did have this to say. >> we lost a special player. a foundational type player, so if you can find a foundational player at 13, that is something you have to way, can you find two more foundational players later on? i don't think you can pass up on a guy tha difference maker at those spots and we will be prepared in both of those instances. >> i meant the colts. that is where forced buckner is these days. 49ers have their number 13 pic. all right, this being april 20, better known in some regions as 420, joe fonzi has the entire situation, this day in sports history. >> reporter: on this day in 1986, michael jordan scored a playoff record, 63 points against the boston celtics. still stands today. the celtics will winners in double overtime. on this day in 1912, tiger stadium opened in detroit and 85 years later, they joined frank howard, as the only right- handed batters to hit a ball on the roof. and on the state 2008 -- danica patrick

the general manager john lynch showed off what his headquarters look like from his house, head coachhan gave us a little tour of his setup, you better believe those two will be in constant communication for the next five hours or so. as for who they might select, with the first pick, it's always fun to speculate, many draft experts, including our own sammy memo who used to work on the desk in our station has them taking the physical wide receiver, one of the names you hear is cd lamb, who was a playmaker, he can block, out of oklahoma. the raiders hold the pick right before the 49ers. so if they take lamb, the 49ers can take another wideout, like henry rugs or jerry judy. one of the most memorable draft of moments was forever change the fortunes of two teams came 15 years ago today. >> but the first election of the 2005 nfl draft to san francisco 49ers, they select the quarterback from utah.>> the 49ers were one of those cha all too well, eryn rogers was sitting there on the board, and he slipped all the way down the draft board, he just watched on, it was painful, he slipped all the

you can see when you look at the setup, john lynch tweeted. monitors and telephones. each of the 32 teams have multiple setups like that. then you add on league officials. normally it's simpler. each team's decision makers hud until their draft room. this time they are home, they are spread out. so there is a lot that can go wrong from technical glitches to cyber-security issues and hackers. roger goodell will make the announcement of each team's selections from his studio in his basement which i think you can relate to. melissa: absolutely. it's hard to believe they are going to split up for this. interesting stuff. that does it for us.

john lynch, board member of the infectious diseases society of america, also an associate professor of medicine at the university washington school of medicine. thanks for being with us. you call social distancing a lifesaver. we're now looking at the possibility of multiple states loosening restrictions. the president telling governors and mayors, testing is up to them. what are your concerns right now? >> yeah, so i think it's a great point, anderson, is that the way i sort of frame it is that social distancing, the physical distancing measures have been put in place by, really, our state governors and our local leaders and our public health leaders that have been extremely effective and at least flattening some of these curves, flattening off the number of patients coming into ourplaces, seeing decreased number of people with positive tests. the key thing, as we start rolling back on that, we need to have other tools in place, and obviously, the two biggest parts of that are basically insurance testing, minimum thresholds to people getting tested for a variety of reasons and we need

. >> after trading down to get him, john lynch traded up to get arizona state wide receiver brandon,as number 25. this is another high upside selection, that fills a need for the team. maybe this one was destiny. here's a photo of him as a kid wearing 49ers gear. how about that? a childhood dream has come true. >> my mom has been a huge 49er spent her whole life so that kind of blood on me a little bit. when i was younger. i know this offense is crazy, the defensive coordinator, he moves people around. he does get everyone involved. i'm very excited to get gratitude. >> the raiders also had a couple of first-round picks and they also addressed both sides of the ball. you can't go wrong with alabama wide receiver, right, especially a burner like henry ruggs, who they took a number 12. he has elite speed which is kind of the rater thing going back to the al davis days. then they went defense at number 19 with ohio state cornerbacks damon arnett. the secondary has been an issue for what seems like forever, so he should certainly help there. mike mibach expects that to be the case. >> th
