We had countless opportunities to get a center. I wanted Zach Frazier. We passed. I wanted Jackson Powers Johnson. We passed. I wanted Beau Limmer. We passed. I would've been good with Bortolini. Again.. Passed. And all of them are doing well as rookies. Really freaking sucks that we failed to get a center of the future in one of the most stacked classes in freaking years.

I did want to get Nugent as a developmental option. At least we did that, but he wasn't likely to help us this year.

Said it before in the draft forum a bunch of times, but it's unlikely the 49ers ever draft a rookie center under Shanalynch. Shanahan has never had one at any of his stops throughout his career.

They did, however, make it a priority through free agency at the start of their tenure here in SF when they signed Weston Richburg and then Alex Mack. The drop off from Mack to Pearsall is crazy despite Mack being in the twilight of his career. For whatever reason, they've departed from making it a priority. Hopefully, they pull their heads out of their asses this offseason.

Kyle doesn't care about the oline, he never has, which is why he has a history of getting his QBs murdered.

Which QBs have been murdered due to the OL?

feliciano getting injured and Williams holding out ruined a decent OL as we had gotten a great guard in Puni

Purdy, Dobbs in the NFC Championship, Purdy again this year. Trey Lance, look at Kyle's career and the list of serious injuries sustained by his QBs. The better question is which QBs haven't been murdered because of Kyle refusing to invest in the OL or his shakey blocking schemes.

Wow. I just watched the johneydel video on YouTube where he goes over film from the previous week. It's shocking how many huge plays were broken up by one guy on the line. Time after time our center missed a block, got pushed away or into the ball carrier. He cost the niners numerous big plays in the packer game. I agree with Johnny, this guy should never start a single game again. I recommend everyone find this video o. YouTube and watch today. The games are terrible anyways today

Nick Zakelj must stink something terrible to not have replaced Brendel.

He is awful too. I think he got called for three holding penalties on one drive in the preseason cause he gets beat immediately. He shouldn't even be on the roster TBH.

I've been saying. If you're going to have a small, physically unimpressive center, he better have top end awareness and football IQ and Brendel, despite being a veteran, constantly makes rookie level mistakes.

He is grades out quite well on the running game. It is his pass protection that stinks. Of 37 Centers ranked on PFF, he is dead last in PP. A QB just cannot function well if the middle of the pocket is in constant collapse.

Whoever is "grading" at PFF should check out jonny's latest video because Brendel has been atrocious in the run game
