We need a new C more than anything...

Yep, especially with Kyle's system

No question.

Man IF he could lock down RG spot it would be HUGE. I'd kick Brunskill back out to RT battling Mike in the offseason. If somehow Mike gains weight in the offseason and wins the job then you have Brunskill locking down swing T. I'd ditch Richburg and keep Garland around as the backup C. I'd use draft capital from next season to move up for one of the big 4 QBs then use our 2nd rounder to go rookie Center.

Center and RG competition. Even if McKivitz can hold it down, I want a talented backup. No more guys who are simply familiar with the scheme but are awful players. Guys that simply know the scheme but can't play should be coaching. I want an influx of talent on OL over the next two years that can ultimately push any underperforming or bad players off the team.

I get that approach. Let's be honest though. With all of the key injuries/untimely covid a different rg wasn't going to make a huge difference. I haven't seen or read a single positive thing on Compton. He reportedly was getting abused all camp and had to take a pay cut just to make the roster in the first place. I'd say he was far from trusted. Lol

Facts. Kyle doesn't have the same OL standards that John has for the DL.

Yeah, agree, they have to put some capital into the middle rounds and bring in some guys.

Mckivitz is an OT who shouldn't be playing IOL.
Brunskill had his best football as an OT as well, he has struggled in the interior.
I agree a new Center is the most important upgrade to do. Richburg can't stay healthy. Go for the best Center available. Alex Mack made all the difference in Atlanta. The EAgles doesn't win their lombardi without Jason Kelce. It's time to upgrade one of the most important positions in football, literally the pivot of the offense.
If you want to keep Richburg for another year, pick a guy who can play both RG and C and plug him in.
Back to Mckivitz, give him a chance to play OT. He was supposed to be Plan B if somebody else traded for Trent Williams.

Having Jonathan Goodwin was huge for our success with Harbaugh. One of the best Baalke moves period.

And that's the last time the 49ers had a good Center. Since then it has been Kilgore, Marcus Martin, injury prone Richburg, Garland...

Now you know why GM and I have been b***hing about the OL for 20 years. LOL

Only if it gets better like theirs. Not worse like our "running it back" got us this year.

But they didn't "run it back" with their 4th string center and 3rd string RG playing most of the yr.

You would have been so pissed If SF did what LA due this past off season

Well judging by play this year so far we'd be adding Cesar Ruiz to that list.

Not to mention Edwards is the only draft investment that is actually starting and he's the weak link on the OL. Noteboom is getting some PT with Whitworth out, and he's been awful. Almost Every guy they've drafted has been pretty terrible with horrible grades. Edwards is the only guy who's played well.

Pretty sure he was a 5th rd pick who was a converted OT (at Wisconsin) to OG as well...sounds familiar.

We literally did. 1 WELL KNOWN injury. Have they had any injuries?

Richburg had a setback with his shoulder....he was suppose to be ready to roll. Out for the yr. Brunskill was suppose to play RG. The backup at center out for most of the yr in Garland. His backup Grasu has been out. 4th string center in Brunskill moved around (played every damn position on the OL outside of LG). Compton is a vet RG who's played with Kyle, he's been in and out and the 5th rd rookie WHO'S played tackle his whole career is learning RG on the fly is now starting...he's basically our 3rd string at that position.

Williams hadn't played football in a yr and spent hardly any time with this OL due to COVID.

Literally the only players "running it back" at their position from 2019 is Tomlinson and McG.

give me some of what you're smoking NC
