49ers Offensive Line

I want Brunskill to replace McGlinchey if he continues to struggle. Draft interior help like Meinerz, Slater, Meyers, Radunz, Kendrick Green or Humphrey PLEASE. There are SO many fantastic prospects on OL this year we have GOT to restock our trenches going forward.

Trent - Tomlinson - Mack - Brunskill/McKivitz/Rookie - McGlinchey/Brunskill/Rookie

To be clear we are a Qb needy team...it is just a question of who is still there once we are within striking distance of our pick,

PhillyNiner is spot on here. If there's any doubt about McG, the FO needs to trade him during the draft while you can get something for him to help bolster your case if you should get anywhere close to a top QB in this draft. And as he states above, we are a QB-needy team. We might not be as needy as a team that has no option at QB, but let's be clear - the 49ers are looking at upgrading the QB position.

That's the thing. Even if all of a sudden Mike plays like a Pro Bowler, a Garrett Bowles kind of turnaround, will they pay him big money while Trent is getting paid 23m? You could have a deadly OT duo for the next 5 years with Slater. And just move Slater to LT once Trent leaves. Imagine that, this team hasn't had a LT hole since Joe was drafted in 2007.

+1

This FO has only spent a 5th to trade for Tomlinson and has drafted 0 IOL. They have to change that because of how great depth this draft class has to offer. And we all know Mack is a bridge.

Mack is the Richard Sherman of C's. His leadership, film study and mentorship is an excellent addition. We still need to find his young long term replacement though and we'll now need to use a draft pick on C. Like with Sherman, we never found or trained his young long term solution. I hope that's not the case here.

TW was a no-brainer retaining move. And well done!

We still need to ADD talent to a unit that got destroyed again last year in PP.

The good news is Mack only gave up 1 sack last year. Tomlinson is still one of the worst G's in the league in PP despite playing next to 2 HOF T's.

If they can upgrade the RG spot significantly, you can expect MM to play much better in a contract year.

Williams - Tomlinson - Mack - Slater - McGlinchey

Almost there!

Team Slater!!

no we don't....they have like 3 swing tackles.

They will more than likely draft another IOL

Who are our current swing tackles? I ,must be forgetting somebody.

It should be Coleman and Brunskill.

Hopefully.

Slater is a need because of MM. If Mike plays well, he's likely gone due to money. If he plays poorly, he's gone due to play. They can't have that much tied up at tackle.

There are several good tackle late first they don't have to take Slater at 12. The draft is wide open now. They can move up or down. Grab a Qb or fill one of the actual glaring holes they have left like edge or cb. I feel if they don't move up for qb then they will be trying to move down. What ever the outcome I feel they are in a great spot to improve this team for now and the future.

we got us a solid ass OL for 2021

Still need a starting RG and some depth to develop and push guys like McG

Don't count out A.Donald's Daddy at RG. He wasn't given a fair chance to compete and keep the RG job he won fair and square in TC last year. He had to move to Center due to injuries playing a new position on the go. It's Brunskill's job to lose imo. He was playing good ball before the move to C.

I would prefer Brunskill to focus on Tackle, I think he is at his best there and could push McG and at very least projects to be a very good swing tackle. Draft a guard/center prospect early round 2-3 and hope he takes over as RG in year one and is the heir to Mack over time.

True but not many can play RG to start. He's special.

And a C-in-training for Mack.

Keep in mind they only tendered Brunskill unlike Moseley, who they extended. That might be a signal they aren't sold on him as a starter...high quality swing-T and first off the bench at G, 3rd C.

I think this is the main takeaway. We dont' HAVE TO take Slater at #12 (altho I wish we would). By JL's two signings, we now can go whole hog in moving up or down. So ER/CB/WR/OL are probably the preferred order of progression in draft ...but still ...BPA all the way. With 3 3rds and 3 5ths we are in great shape to use the draft as we want. Before Trent and Mack signed...we weren't. . Well done GM John.

i do hope that kyle sees a QB other than the top 4 who could be had in late rd 1 or rd 2. Hopefully with Peters and John to have an equal voice, that is what happens. However, TBD.

Yeah I get it and I would not be upset with the pick but he is not a must have now. At this point I think edge,QB is priority with db running a close second. I would say that Pitts or even one of the top wrs could be had at 12 and be just as valuable.
