No. 2 pick — going once, now twice ...

General manager John Lynch of the 49ers said it last month at the NFL combine, and he repeated himself Wednesday just in case a few of the 31 other teams had been out of earshot: The 49ers are willing to trade the No. 2 pick in the draft.

“As I’ve said, we’re open for business,” Lynch said. “We’d listen to anything.”

Lynch’s message appears to be finding its intended targets. He acknowledged some teams have called about acquiring the second overall pick of the draft, which begins April 27.

“Some of that’s gone on, but I think we’re not going to get into specifics on that,” Lynch said. “But there’s interest.”

For a variety of reasons, it makes sense for the 49ers to move down in what is considered an unusually talented-filled draft. The most obvious: They have a star-starved roster after a 2-14 season, and dealing the No. 2 for several high-end selections could help accelerate the rebuilding process.

In addition, there isn’t a consensus second-best player in the draft, and a host of highprofile analysts don’t consider any of the quarterbacks worthy of a top-10 pick.

Given Lynch’s open-forbusiness proclamation, it’s possible the 49ers might not be smitten with the consensus top five QBs, all of whom either Lynch or head coach Kyle Shanahan has seen in person on the pre-draft circuit: North Carolina’s Mitch Trubisky, Clemson’s Deshaun Watson, Notre Dame’s DeShone Kizer,

Texas Tech’s Patrick Mahomes and Cal’s Davis Webb.

Lynch attended the pro days for Trubisky, Kizer and Mahomes, and had a semiprivate workout in Clemson, S.C., with Watson, who visited the 49ers on Tuesday. Last week, Shanahan conducted a workout in Chapel Hill, N.C., with Trubisky. Finally, Webb and Cal wideout Chad Hansen had a workout in Santa Clara on Tuesday.

Lynch maintained he disagrees with the lukewarm assessment of the top QBs.

“From the beginning, I thought that maybe the perception that this isn’t a real strong quarterback class — I think that’s in the eyes of the beholder,” Lynch said. “We have our own feelings, and I think there’s a lot that we like. We’ve put in the work. I do think that’s a position where seeing it live and in person is helpful for me. I think Kyle feels the same way.”

It’s possible the Browns feel a quarterback is worthy of the No. 1 pick. On Wednesday, ESPN reported the Browns were torn between using the top pick on Texas A&M passrusher Myles Garrett, widely viewed as the best prospect, or Trubisky, who is from suburban Cleveland.

If Cleveland is really falling for Trubisky, Lynch might want to sit tight with the No. 2 pick: Garrett, who would address a desperate need for pass-rush pressure, could be one player worth standing pat for.

Lynch was asked if he could see why the Browns might be considering Trubisky.

“Sure, we’ve worked Mitch out,” Lynch said. “There’s a lot to like about him. I also know that it’s that time of year, and what are we, 15, 16 days? A lot can happen in those days. I know it’s fluid for us, the process. I’m sure it’s fluid for them and everyone else.” Young sighting: Former 49ers quarterback Steve Young was at the team’s facility to attend the local pro day, which featured draft prospects who grew up or played collegiately in the Bay Area. Young is friends with Stanford safety Dallas Lloyd, who was participating.

“He’s a good friend,” Lynch said of Young. “I think he’s a big part of the fabric of this organization and anytime we have him out here, I think we’re better for it. I always feel like I get smarter when I talk to Steve.” Prospect visits: Lynch said two of the draft’s top cornerbacks, Colorado’s Chidobe Awuzie and Washington’s Kevin King, would work out for the team next week in Santa Clara. King is from Oakland and Awuzie is from San Jose.

Lynch said Stanford defensive lineman Solomon Thomas, a possible target with the No. 2 pick, and Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey probably wouldn’t have a predraft visit.

“I think we know those guys pretty well,” Lynch said.
