I really do," Lynch said. "I mean, I think there's evidence that you should."<br>That being said, Lynch did point out that he wouldn't draft a player just because he has a dad who used to play in the NFL. The 49ers GM did say that he'd still need to do his homework on the player before using a pick on him. <br>"You have to step away from that and you have to evaluate it," Lynch said. "And that's sometimes difficult to do and that's why a lot of different eyes, a lot of different perspectives. And that's what we try to do when we have our R&D look at it, we have our coaches look at it, we have our scouting look at it, we try to hit it from a variety of measuring points and inflection points as to how you grade these guys because you don't want to do it just off that. That wouldn't be smart. But, these guys, there's some inherent pressure on who their dad is, but there's also some good genes and I think that matters."<br>Lynch definitely seems intrigued by the idea of drafting a legacy player, so let's take a quick look at five of the options the 49ers might have. <br>There's also another NFL son that 49ers fans know well, but there's a chance he won't be drafted, so we won't include him in the above group of five. <br>Two players we didn't put on our list are Marvin Harrison Jr. and Joe Alt. Although both of them have a dad who formerly played in the NFL, the 49ers have almost a zero chance of landing either guy since both Alt and Harrison are expected to be top 10 picks and the 49ers don't get their first pick of the draft until 31st overall. <br>Whatever happens with this group of NFL sons, Lynch is looking forward to seeing how it all shakes out. <br>"It's a fun element to this year's draft that I think is going to be interesting to watch to see how it unfolds," Lynch said. <br>It's just one of the many reason why you should keep your eyes glued to the draft when it kicks off from Detroit on Thursday. <br>© 2004-2024 CBS Interactive.
