Imagine this guy in the playoffs versus the Eagles or Cowboys pass rush

Tough match up today. That being said, I think he held up well. Was nowhere near as disturbing as a majority of McGlinchey's sacks.
Pretending that it's ok to give up 3 sacks just because he was matched up against Watt is foolish. If that were the case, Watt would get 51 sacks per season. No, it's nowhere near alright and needs to be fixed ASAP.

People are saying "well, its Watt, of course he struggled" but that's the caliber of pass rusher he is going to have to hold up against in the playoffs and he looked absolutely helpless to do anything but get driven backwards repeatedly. As of right now he's a major liability.

My guess is that about mid-year, when a team with an expensive RT is out of the playoff hunt, the Niners will make a trade. Ala CMC last year. And then go first round OT in next year's draft.
Mid season could be too late. It only takes 1 hit to lose Brock for the season, or 1 game to lose home field advantage. They'll likely give him a couple more weeks, but vs LA next week he'll probably only give up 1 sack. Vs Giants and then Cowboys he'll give up more. We have the cap space to make a move, and trading a 1sf round pick for a quality starter at that position is better than waiting to draft one and Hopi the pans out.

I foresee TEs lining up next to McKivitz a LOT this season

I didn't think he was any worse than McGlinch. Which is to say its still a position that needs addressing. We're saving cap space with Mckivitz in but with Trent Williams retiring soon we need to bolster this line very soon.

Well he'll be facing off against our d line in practice so hopefully he'll improve over the course of the season.
