I agree there's usually a certain type for kyle at OL/RB.
However Laken Tomlinson was in no way a scheme fit fit coming out of college. He was like 330Lbs and not athletic. He was a s**t brick house...here's his final write up on his draft profile.
"Tomlinson has treated defenders like a squat rep at times, but getting defenders centered and jacked will be tougher in the NFL. His lack of athleticism is a major concern and will cause problems winning initial engagements as defenders will get into him first. What Tomlinson lacks in second-level ability he makes up for in straight-ahead power and an ability to stalemate power players. His success in the NFL could be predicated on scheme and landing spot."
Onwenu could be that dude (not saying he will). SF met with him for a reason...it's not like they're spending a high pick on him. He's not my favorite guard prospect, but he could bring some competition at RG.
As far as our scheme. We run a zone-blocking scheme but actually ran a bunch of gap blocking as well. We don't run something that no one else doesn't use.
No they didn't draft a center they spent top 5 money on one
