Shocked at first but really like the pick.
PFF's breakdown of the selection.

John Lynch has blown the last two first rounds. Only a matter of time before Kyle fired him
This is how u win championships, by building up elite lines on both sides of the ball, and to make things even better we snaked him from the raiders.

If we trade Armstead because of the rumors we were trying to get a second round pick for him. Then that makes sense but to have both of them on the roster, when we could have got an impact maker makes zero sense
A great and consistent run game will make play action devastating.

Yes, he's very good at those, hence why Shanahan wanted him.

I just don't understand drafting a first-round player for next year unless it's a quarterback. I can't fathom doing that

...ing for a reason to be a hater.

A day 1 starter at RT and future franchise LT for a decade at 9 is anything but a reach.

How is it a reach when the Raiders were ready to take him with literally the next pick? Even their own beat guys are reporting that.
Safe to say this dude has passion. Also RIP your speakers

It isn't for next year. Its for this season. He will be the starting right tackle for the 49ers.

This pick was all about Shanahan and wanting to fully open up his offense.

We got the best OT in the draft. No one can logically argue thats not worth #9, as i have been saying for days now.

Its not the flashy pick, and i dont like everyone and their moms knowing we were going to pick him (our HC best friend mocked him to us FFS), but i cant argue with the value in getting the best T in the draft at #9.

I don't care if it's sexy or not. What I'm confused about is I thought everybody in their mom NFL or spectator drafted in the first round first starter and immediate starter unless it was a quarterback

McGlinchey is an immediate starter. Trent Brown is done. He's either getting traded or will be the swing tackle this season.
