1. Slater

For me it's

1. QB Fields/Lance by a mile

2. Slater

3. trade down

My above post is what I think John Lynch will do.

My personal preference is closer to yours. And everyday it switches between Lance and Fields. But I'm leaning Lance.

This dude is built like Trent Williams. Check out his knee bend. He's a natural bender, super low to the ground--very difficult to outleverage. I remember Nick Bosa saying one of the toughest things about going against Trent Williams is that he's shorter and squattier than most left tackles and that it's incredibly difficult to get under his pads. I'll never understand the NFL's obsession with dudes that are built like basketball players. It's the strong, squatty guys that give everyone fits.

Edit - I found the quote

So what makes Williams so difficult to beat? Bosa provided a detailed and illuminating answer. Bosa recently noted shorter offensive tackles can give him more problems. Williams, listed at 6-foot-5 and 320 pounds, is just 1 inch taller than Bosa.

"He's honestly not as tall as I thought he was going to be, which kind of makes it more difficult because he's got a really low center of gravity," Bosa said. "And it's tough to power him and get underneath him, which is something that I like to use to my advantage. For him, he plays so low to the ground and he bends so well, so he's never really up high and exposing himself to power.

"I see him as Zack Martin," said one scout. "He may not be as good, but Zack could play tackle. I see Slater more as a right tackle, but I think he'd be a special guard and a good left tackle. He's not going to disappoint."

Started at right tackle in 2017 and '18 and at left tackle in '19 before opting out. "Very smart, fast processor," a second scout said. "Got really good hands. Understands angles. There are very few issues in pass (protection). He held up pretty well against Chase Young (in 2019). He opted out because he was thinking about coming out last year. He'll be way better inside."

I agree. My fear is that Fields, Lance, and Slater will all be gone by 12. Fields to Atlanta, Lance to Carolina, and Slater to Dallas. If that happens I really do hope we move down and get another 2nd rd pick.

Same for me but only because I know we can't get Zach Wilson. I alternate daily on who I like more between Fields and Lance but no question would trade up to secure either

I just dont see the Niners giving up a future 1st and more to move up a few spots to get Fields or Lance. It just doesnt seem like something they would do but we shall see. I see a trade down as far more likely

If that happens, I pray Chicago or Washington panics and sends a haul to move up for Jones. You can almost bank on 3 QBs, 3 WRs, 2 CBs, 1 TE and 1 OT going in the top 11. Really curious on what the the Lions and Giants decide to do.

we passed on Wirfs and traded back last year and with LAC picking after us, while I don't want it to happen, I can see that happening again.

Or Shanahan just takes Jones himself.

The Niners would love this as they would likely have their pick of Lance or Slater. But I doubt that happens now. I'm not sure that 2 CBs go off the board as well as 3 WRs are gone when the 49ers select.

I don't think this guy will be available at 12. If so, I would be happy with him as the pick. I'm still hoping Trent Williams gets re-signed and they could bump this kid in at RG. It's possible he could supplant McGlinchey at RT if the struggles continue. I would say put this kid at LG but Tomlinson does ok there and he might not be able to play RG as well. If it's not broke don't fix it, although the unit as a whole needs a makeover.

Something like this would be bad ass for next year:

LT: Williams
LG: Tomlinson
C: Mack
RG: Slater
RT: McGlinchey
