WR/EDGE
EDGE/WR

If the TE Kenyon Sadiq or S Dillon Thieneman
from Oregon fall to #27 either one could be the 49ers pick.

Yup. Like we all wanted IOL addressed, but, not like this exactly. Although, no one is surprised. We can't, won't, and don't ever spend big money on guards.

i mean banks and puni were both day 2 picks so i wouldnt say that

but i think we jsut see bigger needs elsewhere and based on draft dont want to spend a high pick on iOL. My guess is that because this is a strong S, WR, and EDGE class we will be going there

I think Lynch & Shanny don't believe in paying guards big money. They feel they can get by with average guard play thus I don't think they believe in investing high draft capital in guards as opposed to like tackles. I just don't foresee them extending any guards long term. 2 to 3 year deals max. Or day 2/day 3 picks at guard so they have them under team control for 4 years & then year 5, let them walk in free agency & get some comp picks in return.

i think its more of a question is if they are worth it. I mean Banks was a solid starter but not worth the contract he got. I think if Ioane fell for example to 27 they would take him in a heart beat

This offseason's OL situation isn't helping my trauma from those Seattle ass whoopings.

Tighten your chin straps for 2026 because as things stand now it's going to be a bloodbath in those Seattle games.I guess the draft will tell us how serious this team is about dethroning the Superbowl champs.

Maybe you missed the memo half our starters were out. Good ones too. The first game of the year basically no Kittle AND Aiyuk and we still whipped them. Our line isn't that good in pass protection but we can still beat them without 2 all pros like Kittle and BA…..soooo.

I wish we got a guard in the first round or a T than can play guard but these coaches are in denial

I'm hoping that Puni will return to form this season without a melting knee. That knee was an issue all year in 2025. Some stability at LG will also help, last year was just a revolving door of Bartch/Colby/Burford.
I expect improvement in 2026.
I look forward to the day we have a dominant O-line again, but at least we shored up the depth with the signings of Lowe/Toth/Jones.

I think you are right, but because of the state and current window of this team. In a vacuum, they dont want a young all pro guard because then they have to pay a young all pro guard. And thats just not where they want to burn cap.

In looking at various mocks, there are only two IOLs that appear consistently in the first round and both (Ioane and Bison's) are gone before we pick. I don't see guard as a first round need, or even a second round the way we view guards.

For Brock Purdy's sake, we better hope Puni's play last year was due to that knee...

because he was straight up trash all season.
