For most of the NFL world, the draft is like an early Christmas - the culmination of nearly a year's worth of preparation and hype.

New San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch is no exception:

Lynch - who was hired this offseason, and has zero previous front-office experience - won't have to wait long to make his first pick, as the 49ers hold the No. 2 overall selection.

Who he might pick, however, remains a mystery.

If the Cleveland Browns take Myles Garrett at No. 1, Lynch's first major decision as GM will be between reaching for a quarterback, taking the next best defensive player, or organizing a trade down - likely with a team who has eyes on Mitchell Trubisky.

Whatever Lynch decides, it'll be the first major step in the 49ers' rebuilding process. No wonder he can't sleep.
