He was drafted in the 5th round so he's probably the GOAT.

Best answer!

it's simply because the most popular guy on the team is THE backup when the starter isn't getting the job done..

This actually is very true.

Our backups have no choice but to be good in San Francisco because of our IR list.

Seemed like I saw him out there a bit today but I never noticed how he did. Where was he even playing?

Compton started at RG. He might have replaced him later in the game.

How's this guy been playing with the limited snaps he's been given?

Not even a get-by-guy so far. Skule level bad.

I say throw everyone into the mix already, we are not going anywhere UP anymore.. we may as well see who the KEEPERS are for next year... the closer we get to the top 10 draft spot, the better for us next season..

Lol come on NC. At least he's an OLineman. You should be hyping him up. Or do you reserve that only for first 2 round selections?

My stance on PFF OL rankings is well documented(it sucks) but I know people care about it.

McKivitz has a good pass blocking but bad run blocking rating. Skule is trash in both.

I'd personally like to see more of him.

He has had only 58 total snaps so far. The fact he has pass blocked well so far but poor in run blocking is not surprising. Kyle's run scheme is more difficult to learn than pass blocking. Give the kid some time and see what he can do.

What exactly were you expecting from a dumpy 5th round pick in a poor OL draft class? I don't get excited just because they actually drafted an OL in the special teams rounds. I get excited about actual talent. This ain't it. He's exactly what you'd expect. Giving him "more time" like Skule or Compton or Brunskill isn't going to change their talent bar. Depth is important of course so I have zero issues giving him more snaps but I hope you're not actually expecting anything more than that going forward.

Let's hope so. We have nothing to lose at this point. We might as well see If the kid has potential or not.
