That's insane that 7 OTs went in the first round. I don't know enough about the draft prospects, but to think there were 8 first round worthy OTs is hard to believe (the 49ers would have drafted the 8th OT at #31). The 8th OT was taken in the latter half of the 2nd round.

I'm hoping they continue to draft in the #31--#32-ish place from here on in. That means 49ers will never have a shot at those elite OT's.

No thanks to drafting at #31.

Personally, the more shots you get at the Superbowl, the more chances of winning it. But that's just me.

But drafting #31 means you lost the SB. That's what I'm no thanksing to.

So we left the draft with 3 IOL? People wanted IOL and got it.
I'll just add that two/three of them can also play left tackle. They added depth and versatility - specially at the left tackle position. If it's true that Kyle's offense will be more pass happy (I doubt that) then you don't need a Trent Williams road grader at left tackle, but more of a Colton Mckivitz/Jalon Moore guy who can pass protect better than Run Block.
Eeeww. McKivitz is better than McGlinchey (barely) at pass protecting but to just call Trent a road grader? Neither Moore nor McKivitz are average, let alone good. McKivitz could improve given it was only year 1 of him starting, but I'd rather some kind of competition. That didn't happen again. I think the passing offense will take off and I hope McKivitz can hold up enough.
As much as I hate depending on Brock's quick reads and release, it's a factor in designing an offense around him. I'd love 5 Trent William's on the offensive line, but that's just a draft and cap impossibility. Next best thing is to beef up the RB pass protections Guerendo/Mason and also bolster the interior line. I thought the interior line was a weakness against the Chiefs in the super bowl. With Guerendo - you can get Guerendo to give chip block help to McKivitz/Moore and then still go out on pass routes. The jitterbug WR's that were drafted Pearsol/Cowing will make it very dangerous for teams to blitz Brock. He'll make those teams pay (read KC). It will also help Brock as these two Wr's are precise route runners and Brock's anticipation will be impossible to stop with both Deebo, Aiyuk, and Pearsol/Cowing running the triangle offense. If you have a quick passing game, the interior line is probably as important (or more important) than the outside OT's.

I am reading up on this Nugent kid and am surprised he went undrafted. I think he may seriously have a shot and even be better than Brendal.
He was in DJ's top 150 big board (which means nothing).
i won't pretend like I've watched much of him…seems like he's pretty small overall. Thorn said their run heavy approach with a lot of play-action protected him as a pass protector (not a ton of one-on-ones). Moves well in the running game.
honestly he sounds a lot like Brendel lol.

I like the idea of signing Bakhtiari. 2 year contract as we get him healthy. Could possibly take over trent williams in 2025 maybe be ready for the second half of 2024 and take over the right side
He's a LT. He's had years to "get healthy" he's on his way out of the league man. He's played 14 games in 3 yrs.
Colton is not amazing, ya'll act like he's the worst starting RT in his first yr starting.
This. Colton is 27 and was his first year starting, he's gotten better every year. Banks is 26, Burford is 23, Puni is 24. Are they upgradable? Sure, but ppl out here acting like they are terrible and there's no hope for improvement. It's dumb to force a draft pick on a player you don't have highly rated just cus you feel like it's a "need"

Careful now. You will be accused of accepting losing. To some pick 1 = pick 31.

Ttotally agree. I said the offense will take off,even more than what they did last year. I likened it to the 2016 Falcons or Greatest Show on Turf. I also get them countering how the Chiefs and Browns defended them. I just wish we could've done both. I believe there was a path to doing both. The offense will be even more fun to watch.
