Interesting photo from @49ers showing what is at this point I believe the starting OL. Mcglinchey will supplant Gilliam at RT and Staley is of course LT. pic.twitter.com/yLESHwO40a

He didn't block for Luck last season

Agreed but sometimes OL don't hit that light switch until after season 5 or 6. I forget the former 49er who was like a 6th/7th round OG, didn't make the team and was cut but then became an all-pro for Dallas.
Sometimes it's the system too.
Arizona took Jonathan Cooper 7th overall and tried to make him a power guard. But he isn't. He is one of the most athletic guards in the league and will thrive in our zone scheme.

The next guard prospect chosen was in round 5. So there was supposedly a big talent dropoff where the 49ers would had to have selected a guard with the Pettis pick, or draft a day 3 guard who would have very little expectations of contributing in 2018.
Yep. And with the 4 guys we have at guard there was no way we were spending a 2nd round pick on a guard to be 4th or 5th on the depth chart
still can't believe they cut Beadles

Yep. Totally agree.
I know this was said about Beadles, but hey sometimes it just doesn't work out and you have move forward. What I love about this off-season already is that we're just not standing pat. We know OL is critical to the success of the team. If you can't get the EDGE rusher on defense you want, there are other ways of beating great offenses - keeping them off the field with a balanced attack and a good OL.
KS and JL don't have a singular approach to personnel or winning. We will be competitive next season, even as a work-in-progress.

Lynch signed Person because of his experience and versatility...he can literally play any of the OL positions. Theoretically, so could Beadles, but he wasn't so hot at most of 'em. Person's a lunch pail kind of guy...hard worker not great, but definitely serviceable as a b/u. It's only a 1-yr contract, so am sure Coach likes having the veteran insurance. And yes, he was originally drafted by the Niners in 2011.
