49ers Offensive Line

Here's how you fix the OL:

Re-sign Trent Williams
Sign Alex Mack via FA (Center). I know he's 35 but maybe we get 2 - 3 quality seasons from him. Draft a future prospect 4th/5th round.
Have (re-sign) Garland play RG, a position he played well off the bench while with the Falcons.
Brunkskill competes for RT with McGlinchey and is the first swing tackle off the bench.

Poof - there's your championship OL for 2021.

Get better play at QB. Draft is now open for CB, EDGE, WR, RB, OL.

Let's see how it goes.

Chiefs starting OL for the Super Bowl:

LT Remmers (0 LT snaps since '16)
LG Allegretti (7th rounder)
C Reiter (7th rounder)
RG Wisniewski (cut by PIT in Nov.)
RT Wiley (a UDFA guard)

How much can a mobile QB make up for a talent deficiency?

I disagree that it was mobile QB. Instead, I would change the statement to "How much can a great QB make up for a talent deficiency".

I believe a great QB, mobile or not mobile, can help hide the deficiency of the pass protection.

How much though? That's the question. As we saw with our own, less than 5.7% was attributed to the QB (1.2% for Garoppolo). I think fans have this idea mobility is going to help an exponential amount. I think the "degree" fans picture in their heads isn't reality becaus eof off schedule highlight throws.

And still, here we are in the Superbowl with 2 pocket passers. Mahomes is only a 200 yard season runner. 54 yards is the most he's had rushing in a game. He, like Brady, Rodgers and Allen do have excellent pocket feel. That certainly is helpful.

But behind an OL failing in PP? All of these QB's struggle and many like Russell Wilson are constantly bounced.

Cut Richburg. Resign Trent Williams. Sign Corey Linsley. Trade Mike McGlinchey (we can't afford two high priced T's going forward - the Trent Brown treatment). Draft a top G and T and Brunskill competes at RT.

PS: 5% chance Corey Linsley even gets to FA so your Mack and top draft pick at C is a great plan B.

LOL! Ambitious!

Corey will be a much tougher sign than Mack and can't see the Pack letting him walk without a bidding war, but who knows!

If we're going for "win now, win cheap-ish" we go after Mack. I don't know if you get good trade value for Mike on a down year and I'd be willing to let him prove he can beat out Brunskill, look better, maybe sing and trade picking up his 5th year option if he's not significantly better than Brunskill.

Plan C: In our attempt to trade for Stafford, we acquire another player if we package picks: Frank Ragnow. .01% chance of that happening.

Haha. Go big or go home, whether it's Garoppolo or Stafford, we're going to need that added protection up front.

I have this strong impression Brady is going to show Mahomes a thing or two. Maybe it's keeping the Bucs offense on the field longer. Maybe it's using the 20 plus years experience Brady has stored away. As a die-hard Joe Cool fan maybe it's showing the world he is the GOAT. if he does..........he is.

Linsley was a fifth round pick. Maybe we get lucky with one of our three 5th round picks in 2021?

Pretty much agree. Its pretty impressive for him to be that old and still performing at a top level *and* on another NFL team away from Bellicheat.

If you look around the league, there are a lot of really good interior OL that were drafted on day 3. Some of the guys take a a long time to develop. Unfortunately, most teams don't have the system(ie scheme stability, coaching ability) in place or patience to properly develop the ones that can be developed.

Can't support trading MM. As much as he regressed, he should have an opportunity to bounce back. The Brunkskll/MM battle for RT would be great. Draft a C of the future to groom behind Mack along with Slater in the first. Down for resigning Garland as well. The team would have starters and adequate depth. And I think they could really let Deebo and Aiyuk run loose for some deeper shots off playaction and longer passes in general.

I'm really rooting for Brady. I keep thinking of this clip from America's Game when Keena Turner discusses Dan Marino. He says if any QB takes lots of hits they become ordinary quickly. The Bucs have the edge rushers to cause havoc.

People think we get to "keep" everything Jimmy does and add the element of running by drafting a mobile. That's not how this works.
