I have a hard time believing any team will select a true center or guard in the second round of the draft. Tackles? Heck yah! I would be thrilled if the 49ers finally spent a high pick on an OT. Now, they did this not all that long ago when they used a first round pick on Mike McGlinchey. Powerul run blocker but his pass blocking was suspect and he never really improved.
So, as much as the 49ers
NEED a tackle, the question is, can they select one? Fans already know Shanahan is spot on, for the most part, when it comes to picking wide receivers. But linemen? Meh....
EDIT: I love Top Dawg. We had a copycat in Citrus Heights, but they did not survive the COVID shutdown.
