John Lynch spoke at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis and fielded questions about the vacant defensive coordinator position, Brandon Aiyuk’s status, and their draft philosophy.

John, with the draft going on, draft picks and roster construction are obviously fluid. Would you consider that your draft strategy is more best player available or drafting for need in certain spots?

I think it’s unique, to each year, each round, you obviously have an overall philosophy. We just like drafting good players, and it doesn’t matter when, and sometimes guys don’t get drafted, and become free agents.
