49ers Offensive Line

Nice post NC, I have been pushing for Crosby in the 3rd for quite some time now. Crosby is the guy we can draft and have back up both T spots this year. Then if Brown leaves in FA, he can become the starting RT. In the 1st round I want Edmunds, and in the 2nd I want the best CB, or if an elite Guard slips I would go that route.

Lacks initial quickness. Cut-off blocks are a challenge. Doesn't always secure positioning of base blocks through footwork

Crosby won't be a favorite of evaluators looking for a pretty tackle who wins with athleticism and technique, but he will appeal to teams who covet size, length and strength as he puts big checkmarks in those boxes

It's really sad

I agree, it's easier for these college teams to go gimmicky than to develop guys that can handle both speed and power rushers.

Then they get into the pro's and can only wear pads for like 35% of practices, it's killing these Tackles.

C is also critical to Kyle's offense and it wouldn't surprise me if we go a top C to play G and back up Richburg.

The number of really good centers in the draft would make this logical. Also, while Richburg doesn't have the injury history Kilgore did, does Kyle want to put all his chips in one guy? Don't think so, and Magnuson may be good, but a dependable starter? Hmm...

Exactly my line of thinking too!

I see them possibly drafting a C who can play G and an OT who can play G. That would greatly solidify the G position while building quality depth for OT and C.

Crosby isn't a fit. He is the Josh Garnett of tackles. All power. No athletesism.

He isn't what Shanahan looks for in linemen.

I agree it's too early to write Garnett off, but I had been hoping they would draft Cody Whitehair, who is much more athletic. They could have had Whitehair without trading up. Of course, Garnett is a Baalke type OL while Whitehair is much more a Shanahan style OG.

I was big on Whitehair.

Also it is too early to bail on Garnett - But, IMO, this is his make or break year as far as being a starter.

Agreed. He has worked his butt off this year though that's forsure.
