2024 Draft Class: OL

Agreed, but we need to start hitting picks at a better rate....2 TEs last year and 2 LBs....if those were all whiffs, well....

There should be plenty available in that range, and even beyond. Best IOL class I've seen in quite some time TBH. Pure OGs and plenty OTs who could convert to OG IMO.

If we wanted to, I think we could find - if talent translates from paper to field - a new center, a new RG, a new RT and a future LT all with our first 4 picks

I know it's not sexy, but doing something like this will have our offense humming for a decade. Imagine Purdy and the run game behind a quality line.

I want to go for the best center in the first then find a RT in the 2nd. Then either another tackle or guard right after if there isn't a defender (DT, LB, CB) that stands out in rd 3. I believe we have 2 3rd rounders right now so technically all of this could work.

Since nobody has a perfect draft throwing more bodies at the line increases the chances of finding quality as well.

The quality is high but there are 12 tackles likely to be picked before the 49ers. Not such a strong year for guards or centers. If they want an elite tackle that is a clear improvement they may need to move up.

Meh I disagree. Some good centers but the guards aren't good. Need a LOT of the tackles to move to guard to have quality ones.

Well I did say IOL class. Combined between guards, centers, and OT-to-OG converts -- there's nearly a dozen options throughout the draft that I've seen so far, to be honest. It would be absurd if we didn't land one.

Purdy has taken way too many vicious shots from free runners, it's really ridiculous. If we want another chance at a Super Bowl, he has to get hit WAY less. Sacks are one thing, but hits are a problem.

Among QBs with at least 10G played, Purdy was knocked down the 7th most in the NFL. When you look at the raw numbers, people might think he wasn't pressured that much, but when you look at per drop back, the pressure rates skyrocket to among the worst in the NFL. Gotta fix it.

I agree it's especially hard for him to throw when the pressure comes up the middle and our lineman are pushed back into his lap. At least with outside pressure he can step up and throw if we have a good protection in the middle.

Agreed, but I am reading many have Powers and Frazier as end round 1 early 2 talent at Center or a move to guard. I would rather take the best center /guard than the 13th tackle in the first.

49ers are in a good spot to pick from some of the top interior OLs in the draft. Even trade down out of the 1st, add another decent pick and still be able to take someone like Frazier and others.

I love it when you talk dirty to me.

If they want Frazier that badly they absolutely should move out the 1st. Stop with all the trade ups and get value this year.

I'd be happy to see them really focus in on OL and CB and then also add a WR, LB and NT somewhere along the way as well.

I'd love to trade back if we felt we could still get our guy. This is a year that quite frankly we need all the players we can get.

We've had young depth guys rounding out the roster that we hoped would develop or show some promise, but I'll say that by now we know most of these guys ain't it.

Burford and Zakelj still suck years later. The team clearly has no trust in Moore despite IMO playing no worse than Colton.

WR Bell gives me no confidence. Givens, McKivitz, seem to have hit their peak. Kalia Davis has carried over his injuries from college. Danny Gray is terrible. DE Jackson hasn't gotten any better. Latu wouldn't have made the team last year, LB Graham wasn't good enough to be active.

I mean you look at this stuff and you're like, well sh**... We gotta replace 2-3 WR, 3-4 OL, 2 LB, 2-3 DL.

Well you have to be realistic with who the picks are. If you are outside the top 75 expecting a top end starter is a pretty big ask. Davis, Bell an Graham are all late round picks. Looked exactly like what you should expect.

Christian Haynes, the more I've gone back and watched, the more I like. I think he's going to be a very good guard at the NFL level. If the 49ers were to draft him he'd come in and be a Day 1 starter at RG.






This is a guy that stood out at the SB
I'm only moving up if it's a OT that they want. There's multiple IOL guys that should be sitting there at pick 31.

i think moving up in the second for a guy seems more likely.

Let's check to see if Green Bay likes him 1st.
