And as we get towards the play offs each year, it becomes more and more obvious.

Thats just not accurate. They absolutely addressed it. Added Hubbard, 3 interior rooks and resigned Felciano.

Now is that enough? Don't know. Until anyone actually plays we don't know who is good and who isnt.

Late rounders and UDFA scrubs that will likely be PS players at best aren't "addressing" a need. It's gravy if they ever contribute at all. Re-signing Feliciano is maintaining the status quo, not getting better. The fact is that the FO addressed what was arguably our biggest weakness all year with a 3rd round pick. I like Puni and I think he will be solid, but there is no reason to believe the OL will be any better this year than it was last year, and the cupboard is looking very bare for the future.
If you splurged $35M on one player (Williams) it would be very difficult to beef up the whole OL. Draft is the only way and this year is a rare opportunity but they wasted it.

The last resort would be spending more on a good OL coach.

This is so accurate; they could have spent a first draft pick or second draft pick on OL the last couple of years and that would have shown at least that they were trying to address the issue.

Yet dude is crying about not signing a 6th round pick from the Patriots.

I can easily argue Ambry Thomas was a bigger weakness than McKivitz or Felciano.

But OK say they took Kingsley. Who then plays corner next year?

They couldn't have spent a 1st or 2nd last year.

So McGlinchey was a good decision solely because they showed they were addressing the issue?

At least it showed intent. it showed that the OL was an area of need which was absolutely correct.

At the time it seemed a reach and not every pick is correct. Brian O'Neill would have been a better pick.

So they should've just reached for need.

Just use high picks. Doesn't matter if they hit.

yeah let just use a first or second rounder when we didn't have a first rounder for the last two years. Football is hard for some fans

Look at every draft, there is boom and bust picks all over. In fact, it is funny to go back and read the names selected before genuine super stars in past drafts.

OL is a tremendous need and should be feed with multiple draft picks.

Thats not a hard concept to fathom.

it's hard for you.. as you have missed 4 NFC, and 2 SBs with a line that you think sucks. On top of that, the other 2 years that we missed the playoffs weren't due to the OL either.

They did use multiple draft picks then signed one of the top rated undrafted OL.

Is secondary also not a tremendous need?

it doesn't suck, any line with Trent Williams in it couldn't suck but....

it still can improve.

and I think our OL has cost us in big games, most 9ers fans would agree with that.

Yes, but they seem to have drafted for the secondary. I'm all for improvement there as well.

Imo they didn't use enough draft capital on the OL.
