Texas A&M OG Chase Bisontis is a top-5 OL prospect for me in the 2026 class.

I think some draft grades for guys end of the 1st and on day 2 aren't that different.
That won't prevent fans from complaining if the Niners don't get a good player to fill every need. The quality of the draft class has a lot to do with how successful your draft will be. Especially when you draft late in each round. Our fans want upgrades in the O line and WR. It seems OL isn't a strong position this year with only 3 getting a 1st round grade. That makes it unlikely the Niners pick O line in the first round since the 3 guys will probaly be gone when they pick.

We got a lot of the same folks who complain about taking OL and also complain about not going BPA lol. Overall the past couple drafts have been underwhelming as a whole.

Personally I would prefer they attack IOL via FA. I think Trent has a couple seasons left and his contract will be adjusted for that this offseason.

Not a bad plan. Those inside OL guys aren't as expensive as some other positions and having experience is plus.

DJ clearly only watched Bailey against weak tackles. He got whooped by all the top tackles in this class. Max and both Utah OT's.

I think the rankings are really going to blend together and there wont be a consensus for OL its all going o be about personal preference

There's a narrative that Vega Ioane (320+ lbs) is strictly a mauler and not a fit for zone / not impactful on the move.

The tape says otherwise. Plenty of reps this year showing functional mobility, angles, and second-level effectiveness. pic.twitter.com/yLxFBF361h

Emmanuel Pregnon is my new IOL1

Not a single major weakness in his 2025 film pic.twitter.com/GCR1skmEit
Oregon's Emmanuel Pregnon is a strong Day 2 option for teams looking for a starting guard. Love his heavy hands and base in pass pro pic.twitter.com/34qNdZT7D4

I know he doesn't make a block here, but the lateral agility and ability to stick with a play is what I love most about Emmanuel Pregnon (LG #75).

He moves like a guard I'd want in a zone stretch scheme pic.twitter.com/tFXLOj9ut2

i disagree, weak in terms of early 1st round talent but that wouldnt matter for the 49ers situation anyways. Late 1st to Late 3rd guard class is pretty deep, if they can't find a starting guard then its just time to hang them up, bring in a new front office, new scouts..etc.

Bummer for World. Probably undrafted or late 7th rd pick now. https://t.co/wxpxekKIFH

3rd or early 4th rd pick. Iowa ( the factory) could be a good LG in the zone scheme.
