49ers Offensive Line

Not even for free.

We can upgrade through the draft at LG and C

This game should be remembered anytime someone thinks we should do anything but go OL heavy in the draft.

They can go OL heavy in the draft as long as they get Mason Graham in the 1st. Remember both lines need fixing.

I am thinking a OT is more important tbh. What good is a great defense if Purdy is dead.

When I read all the posts it's obvious that most people think they need to beef up both lines. What isn't obvious is what spot should be the first priority. Tackle? Center? Interior D line? I think any of those spots would befine as long as the pick becomes a starter.

I want Center more than Tackle right now. And that's what is killing Purdy. I honestly think Trent Williams is taking it hard about his loss which is the reason he's not playing. He'll be back ready to go next season.

Williams is getting near the end of his career and replacing him will be really hard. There ren't many tackles as good as him. I don't think there are any premier left tackles in this drft so center or right tackle would be my preference if there is a good one available. If there's a better interior D lineman then I grab him.

I think we definitely need to address OL first especially if we plan on paying Purdy upwards of 50-60 mil. First and foremost is getting a competent center in free agency, so get Dalman, then in the draft get the best RT available in the 1st rd at 11 and then maybe move Burford over to LG which Ive heard a lot of people say the left side is the better side for him and I think he would thrive at guard especially with him being smaller.
With this offensive line of Williams, Burford, Dalman, Puni, and best RT available in 1st rd at 11, our OL easily is in at least top 10 to 12, and as the season goes on who knows maybe it can creep up into the the top 5.
With a line like this we could kick the door wide open for a few more runs at the Super Bowl, all we need is ShanaLynch to pull the trigger.

I've never seen a center taken top half the first and I haven't read about any obvious stud centers so far so imo that can be addressed in round 2-3. (I am still irate they didn't address this last draft) Tackle is imperative. WIlliams is almost done if not already and McK sucks.

I believe Kyle is a great coach, and I do not care what he and others say to the cameras, he MUST know the oline is s**t.

But I stand by what I said in another thread or earlier here, the two tackles projected to go high will probably go before us anyways since everyone needs one. I wouldn't reach much for a tackle either, but they may have no choice. I bet by the time we hit the draft theree will be 2 taken hight, 1-2 mid and another 1 or 2 later. They almost always climb up.

IMO an upgrade at c or LG is already on the team with Bartch but we still should draft at least two. I also think Moore is astronomically better than McKivitz.

Moore should be promised a competition to start at RT and then we draft an OT for additional depth. Bigger priority should be massive fortification of the interior.

I am not sold on Moore at all. It took 5 years to see anything out of him. Wtf? I guess I am calling out coaching here to, but head scratcher to me.

Center is a must, not sure who is FA or what the draft looks like yet. But I would still rather suffer a rookies growing pains than Brendels ineptness.

Bad offensive line play, which we saw plenty of this season, impacts everything.

Where is nCommand now that we need him?

If the Moore you are referring to is Jaylon Moore, he was drafted in 2021. LT is his preferred position. He has been more than adequate this season replacing Trent. He is currently ranked #25 among all tackles in the league. KC is rumored to be looking at him to help shore up their left side. If so, we may not be able to keep him. Someone wrote (maybe Barrows) last week that he ranks #5 among FAs that we should keep.

Center is the most obvious need. Some here are high on Drew Dalman. He is very good in the run game but below average in pass protection. At age 26, he would be expensive. Coleman Shelton of Chicago is a better PP though just average in run blocking. He might be in play depending on what the new coach wants. In any case, a draft pick should be used here.

Yeah, but I am still not sold on Moore. We would have to know what TW is doing anyways. I agree Center is our biggest need. I don't want a half assed signing either. I want the full package. I would much rather they take the best center in the draft and roll with that. Or even move Puni over.
