It can only be explained by Shanahan's plan to prove he's so good as an OC that he needs only an average or below average OLine.
I was calling it. Don't approve but it seemed like the direction they were going.
Didn't you float the theory that the staff is higher on McKivitz than the fans are? Maybe they are higher on Jaylon Moore as well. If McKivitz is the starter, wouldn't that make Jaylon Moore the swing tackle? I'm going to say perhaps they like both more than the fans do. Gotta be a Foerster call, because I can't imagine Foerster wanting an O-lineman in the draft and Kyle and John just ignoring him.
Theres 0 doubt that the 9ers are high on Mckivitz, Moore, and probably even Burford's ability to move outside in a pinch. Every draft site and pundit and every mock around had OT and IOL as a primary need for the 49ers and to not address it all shows they are content with what they have. Seems incredibly short sighted at best to me. Trent isnt playing forever and was a good chance to bring in a developmental swing like Freeland or a functional piece that Saldiveri that could play up and down the line. But obviously hoping that they are right, and that the injury bug does not strike.
I expected us to draft some OL, we've nabbed some in UDFA (fisher & manning). I Hope mckivitz is better than some us think he will be.
i completely understand fans being confused by us not addressing OL, I just don't think where we took a kicker being a big deal. It was our only "need" and got the guy we liked best
- Brown should be the future safety for us. I REALLY like this pick.
- I like the TEs we drafted because of the playmaking ability they add that we've been missing.
- I love the kicker we got. Now we will actually kick touchbacks.
- I like the speed to added on the defensive side of the ball, but they're developmental players.
- I really like the CB we drafted in the fifth. I think he will be a stud.
overall, I think we nabbed some players for
this year and next that can contribute on a stacked team.
Dude they haven't even been issued uniforms yet and here you are calling them garbage. Niner fans are the worst sometimes.
