Brian Baldinger has seen enough of Jake Brendel:

"I think they have to upgrade the center. I say this to offensive line coaches and I would say this to Chris as well, and I respect Chris Foerster, I think Chris is an excellent coach, but I would say if your center isn't strong,… pic.twitter.com/eNFXlj0iBV

They drafted Drake Nugent from Michigan but he's a little undersized. 6'1" with short arms.

Drew Dalman from the Falcons? He'll be an UFA after this season. Only 26.

They addressed it with Richburg. He was solid and a big part of their success in 2019. Then he got injured and Chris Jones wrecked them in the SB. Then they brought in Alex Mack who was decent but retired shortly after and then it feels like they kind of just stopped trying or Brendel not being completely ass last season deluded them into thinking they were better off than they actually are.
They should address this s**t this off season. If Shany really doesn't want a rookie to run this offense and there is no Decent free agent C (if Dalman doesn't make it to FA), I'm all for trading a pick or 2 to a team that wants to start from scratch that can use draft picks for their rebuild. This can't continue moving forward.

Not really. They should at least use a pick on a serious developmental prospect that can could maybe contribute at guard to start with. They had plenty of options last year.

It's the Kyle formula for success. Ignore your biggest need and draft a questionable wr4.

Draft one. A smart, strong one that can go 1 on 1 verses the best DTs if necessary.

Going 3 seasons with Jake Brendel as your starting center and make zero effort in finding a replacement is actually wild

Son of former Niner OL from the 80s/90s ?

I guess it helps keep Brock's salary down.

Best option was to draft a C from the 2024 class since it was loaded with good Cs. The 2025 draft class is very weak at C.

I agree with what's been said earlier. No excuse not bringing some one else in or letting someone else start. Brendel has been terrible.
I wanted to see Nugent but too quick for him to be ready to play especially with our crappy OL coach.
Let's see Hennessy play but he'll just be the backup probably.
I liked Dalnan as a FA option. I wanted him coming out. He is supposed a top run blocker. Concerned they say he isn't as good on pass protection.
