If staff feels one of those 3 CANT get it done then we gotta sign a veteran guard too. You dont need to be elite at every OL spot. 4 solid starters and one average at G is okay. If not we address the following year.
There are at least a half dozen FA centers this year age 26. There are more at various ages but it seems funny how many are 26 (nine). Not sure any are suited for Shanahan's scheme...but one of them has to be better than Kilgore, who is 29.
For sure. I think a proven C and draft a day one starting guard...lets go i think well be good.

Have that fixed. Solid. Working. Draft for starters who need a couple yrs. And do it routinely....every yr so we get someone from draft who does work out. But don't depend on a college kid for OL. There may be one or two a yr but that has been it. And with ZBS there will be less.
Drafting two or 3? Think thats overkill and me personally i dont wanna close the book on Tomlinson/Garnett/Magnuson. Remember we gave up a 2nd for Jimmy.
If we dont land a big fish at pass rusher/CB/WR you would think those 3 positions along with a guard is gonna be the first 4 picks or should be IMO.
Yeah smokes it WOULD be overkill if we had any OL. But all we got is two OTs. That's it. The rest suck. Now, we do need to see Darren williams...he looked good the little we saw in PS...defintely need to see him a couple games or 3.
I don't care if it costs us $30 mil to sign one dominant C and 2 OG starters. But it has to be done. And THEN pick up a couple OGs/C in draft....with new FA OG OG and C, it can be round 3 or 4. But they better be talented. CB or WR at #1 fine by me...but then we need 2 LBs, too. And the ER. Maybe make him the #1 pick if jsut outstanding. Here is where lynch can get creative adn land more 1s , and 2s if we end up with #2 pick or so. Top 3...then trade for 1s and 2s. Then maybe we get ER, WR CB, LBs. Thing is we could use 2 of each. Jeez.
s**t sounds silly lol.
