Wondering if chase lucas at 5-11 and 4.4 40 has been looked at safety. Appears to have the speed and size to play single high.

I would hope so. Safety is weak and thin.

Does Saleh ever play single high? Not saying lining up that way, but actually scheming that way. IIRC he wants the defense to be ambidextrous.

seems like Connor Colby and Drew Moss are the only OL who played decently (Bartch could also be included),.. they played way better than Zakelj, especially Colby,... the guard backup place in the 53 could be up for grabs,... good thing for the niners
Going through 49ers film and man Connor Colby looks good!

I thought Connor Colby looked good in the run blocking. I was surprised actually. I didn't expect a late round pick to play that well. But he moved people off the ball. Maybe they were right about him. Just wish they would pick more offensive linemen and higher.

Who they played against is not factored in to the grades.
I think all this grading stuff is pretty useless at this point. The reality is we won't know who is winning until the cut downs.
