An early pool of GM candidates

[Jared Patterson]

I heard Ed Dobbs is a strong candidate? 

[saX man]

Kinda with how Rhule was the top coaching candidate Tepper didn't let him go, I can see this being either Ireland or Colbert and Dave will do what he needs to and bring one in.

I don't think it will be a young aspiring GM type (Cowden) but am a fan.

Dobbs is one of the hit names in the league, but I don't know if he's connected to the Panthers job yet.

If Jerry Richardson or Marty Hurney we're looking for a successor, then I think somebody like Cowden or Kirchner might have a chance.

Since it's Tepper and Rhule, I'm not so sure.

Kevin Colbert. The report from a week ago that he was on the outs in Pittsburgh wasn't a coincidence. Tepper and Colbert already know this is happening. Probably gonna be the highest paid GM in the league by far.

This please.

Having a player he use to coach becoming his defacto boss?  Not so sure about that.

Here's the 49ers bio on Peters: link

Side Note: He looks like Joe Person's brother.

Interesting timelines for him that correspond with both the Patriots prime dynasty (2003-2008), Broncos defense/SB run and then the 49ers build/run with Mike Shanzohanzo.

Really good track record, curious to how much impact he had.

Eh, it was two decades ago, they were both twenty somethings now in their 40’s I’m assuming.

For what it’s worth, it appears Broncos fans really want him back.

[Mr. Scot]

Jonathan Jones on WFNZ just said that Jeff Ireland is a name he's hearing connected to the Panthers in league circles.

He mentioned Ed Dodds and Nick Caserio as hypotheticals. ALso Chiefs personnel guy Ryan Poles as a potential Assistant GM candidate.

49ers confirmed Adam Peters went and scouted QB Zach Wilson in person this year.

F it, let's get Ireland and Peters.  Ireland as GM, Peters a Team President/Assistant GM.

Doooo it

49ers should be looking into QB prospects. Jimmy G seems to be injured all the time and Mullens td match his int.

Wouldn't read too much stock into that connection but Rhule was a graduate assistant (more like peers) and that was 20 years ago. Plus reading into Tepper's structure here is that Rhule and whoever the GM winds up being will be more like peers than the GM being the "boss" of the HC.
