Nice dodge of the question.

The dudes that think we have a bad oline are punching the air right now

It was a top 5-10 pass blocking line last year via the metrics depending where you looked. Nothing to die on. I expect a FA added to the mixt and something similar this year.

I was expecting them to add a OT or two. Kinda bummed out given the guys there. I don't think our OL stinks or whatever.

Our OL doesn't suck by any means. It's just going to get punked in the playoffs unless something magical happens. And it could...just playing the odds on the current talent level and who we're likely to face.

Lol what?

It could if that talent beat out McKivitz and integrated into the rest of the OL by the time the playoffs rolled around and our OL reached another level. Possible.

Agree with NC. IMO, Shanahan's pride in proving he can win with an average (or below average) OL will be the main reason if he continues to fail to win a SB.

Did we improve the right side of the OL? Against the Cowboys, 19 points, 66% pressure rate, only 8 passes past 10 yards. Fortunately, the defense finished that game. The goal was to improve the weakness.

You and 9ers4eva think we improved there after letting MM and Brunskill go?

I sure hope the two tackles who start for the 49ers this season stay healthy and upright!

15 is a little more than a handful last I checked bud.

Given there's 400 OL, yeah, not that deep into the pool. LOL. It certainly didn't stop the other teams from adding.

Last year the 16th, 17th and 18th linemen taken were all drafted in round 3. None played a single OL snap.

So how is taking an OL at 99 going to assure our OL doesn't get punked in the playoffs?

So four years ago they could have had Tristan wirfs, and passed.

Yesterday I was like OMG Blake Freeland is available they will take him for sure..... I am wrong gain.

They also could hae traded up for Olusegun Oluwatimi Michigan Center, or drafted Jarret Patterso C or the kid from Ohio State. Doh.

Gotta admit my confusion. With a team as stacked as this it's unlikely to find starting players, especially where we were picking. So I'd have thought that drafting for depth would be a priority, and OL is the biggest position group. Not drafting a single lineman is confusing as hell, but I'm really hoping it's a testament to how highly the staff view who is already on the team. No O linemen is strange.

They didn't have Colton McKivitz in front of them.

Except it wasn't average or below average in 2021 or 2022
