Williams-Tomlinson-Mack-Richburg-McGlinchey w. Brunskill, McKivitz, and a rookie as depth. Skule can be our PS OL vet guy.

There's some speculation out there that Mack will retire.

Rough speculation. Nothing of substance yet.

Yah I didn't see anything so far either. I'm betting Mack would love to reunite with Shanahan in the Bay Area.
So we're going to rely on a 35 year old center in the land of injuries (aka San Francisco)

You forgot to add......who is better than any Center on the 49ers roster.
Eagles are in cap hell. A trade for Kelce would be a lot cheaper. Trade for Kelce and select a rookie (Drake Jackson/Alec Lindstrom/Josh Myers) late day 2 or early day 3.

Isn't Kelce always getting hurt?

Nah, Kelce missed only 4 games since 2013 earning 4 Pro-Bowls and 3 First-Team All-Pro nods in that span. The only year he missed significant amount of time was 2012 due to a knee injury.

I'd take Kelce and extend him for 4 years with an option on the 4th year.
I won't be surprised if Richburg retires.

I think Garland's previous play has earned him a chance to at least come into camp as the starter but if we can upgrade in free agency and in the draft please do.

Brunskill and Grasu weren't terrible but I hope to see neither at that position again. We need to add a couple centers, guards, and tackles.

Agreed

I would imagine that playing with Shanahan for a ring next season will more than entice mack to play one more year

Mack is at an age where he doesn't need to take less money to play. He's got a lot of mileage on his body and has made good money in his career. If anything, you have to entice him with good money for him to play another season. That said, I hope you are right.

Draft a project at Center, sign Mack as a stop gap.

I mean at this age, I think one of the big factor is if a team is a contender that could finally get him a ring.
Really bummed Richburg is most likely heading to retirement due to injury. I thought he would've been a really nice center for our scheme even though he made some bonehead flags at times.

I think we need a vet center. They are so important for the communication for our scheme amongst the line.

I can see why people would think so though, Kelce is literally the only part of that O-line that isn't hurt often.
