Sounds like a good depth signing. It'll be interesting to see what they do at RT.

No reason to worry though, I'm sure when all is said and done we'll have another Top 5 or 10 O-line just like last year (and there were even more question marks last year).

49ers OL is like the LA Dodgers. Really solid, even top 10 unit in-season and big flop of disappointment in the post season.

But to your point, definitely a lot less worry this year but is it good enough? Almost there. Don't stop now.

ah here it comes..

Dems the facts. Of course when you have to play the two best pass rushing defenses back to back, the metrics won't look pretty. Esp. when playing with one armed tied behind their back in a predictable situation.

facts is there can only be one winner

plus how did our OL flop ?

Did you see the Dallas game? Hargrave's highest graded game was against us.

yes.. Two sacks in a win and a one dimensional team respectfully .. where is the flop ?

Pressure rate was brutal. It's an annual trend in the playoffs (not just this year). Conversely, the #1 OL neutralized that same #1 DL. That's the difference in winning Superbowls. Top tier OL + QB but you already know that Superbowl winning formula. It's proven every year predictably.

stop.. you know both DL in that SB were neutralized due to the turf

and you are moving the goalposts, you said #1 OL .. now it's top tier

A healthy Purdy would have had us in the SB.. again OL isn't the issue

"WORST LYNCH SIGNING EVER" comment coming your way in 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1

Of course. Low dollar deal and not trading draft capital away is less sucky. Pryor has stuck around the league. When he was healthy and playing RT he actually graded out pretty decent at PFF. Odds are he is better equipped to contribute next year at RT than any guy we could draft without moving up.

Well looks like O-line may not be a top priority in the draft.

It better be!

Didn't Kevin Barlow say something when asked about an upcoming draft he said "Draft all offensive lineman".

Yeah usually teams that make the playoffs are pretty good. Only 1 sack given up against Seattle. Dal + Philly both had top 5 DL's. Our OL has been getting better past couple years, let's hope it continues

LOL. The turf? They play in Philly. The historic defense suddenly struggled in less than perfect conditions?

I'd like to believe that too. Getting by Hargrave and that DL was no easy task, objectively.

That's the key takeaway for me too. Let's not act like we're there yet but you gotta love how they played last year but we're not there (quite yet).

Thank God Lynch sees it this way too. But if Colton does great, man, that would be huge for us.

We just need a little better RT and RG performance and C to gain some strength/experience and take the next leap forward with some legit competition.

Dude this draft is so insanely deep at RB, there's no way that Shanahan will be able to resist drafting one. Its like walking a fat kid through a Krispy Kreme and telling them they can't have any. Don't deny Kyle that.

A running back. Nothing you said is incorrect...but draft a RB to go to the practice squad? If said RB beats out say TDP, great we get an upgrade but that's yet another 3rd round pick wasted on running backs in back to back years. I get that our best two have bad injury histories, but this is just an awful use of resources, especially if one is taken before the 5th. I'm going to need a RB drafted to be able to do something else besides run the ball. They need to be able to catch, return kicks, something different. Be Elijah Mitchell 2.0. SOMETHING.. Otherwise its a total waste.

Pryor is at a minimum experienced depth...he's also competition, to push McKivitz to truly earn the RT position. Competition is a good thing...nobody should knock it. WRT RB's, I see Davis-Price gone...unless he blows Shanahan away, which at this point seems pretty doubtful. With McAffrey, Mitchell & Mason, that's a very good threesome. As some have said, getting another one or two RB's isn't a bad idea. ST's, including KR's is important. So is good depth...we all know injuries will happen.

am I the only one who thinks Burford may be in play for RT? Let this big ugly Pryor fight it out with Moore and whoever else at RG and move the talented Burford out to RT. Burford is a little short but he has the armlength and wingspan.

so it looks like i was the only one watching the game

They are definitely drafting a RB with one of their 3rd round picks now.

This UCLA running back, Zach Charbonnet, might be there in the late third, or a bit sooner. I watched every UCLA game the past few years and this kid is talented. He fits Shanahan's system and can catch passes. He is starter material in the league. A great insurance policy.
