I don't want them to in round 1. It should be a tackle. Corner should be round 2. The only argument can't be they never have done it. They never drafted an interior OL until they did in 2021 with Aaron Banks. Is there any other reason as to why they won't draft a corner in round 2 besides past history?

Yah 7 years of it. Only team in the NFL to not take one in that timeframe.

Sooo...past history. Got it.

Again, they never drafted an IOL olineman early until they did it. Can't say they don't value corner because they paid top dollar for Ward and Sherman. We'll see this year because as its been laid out, there is no greater need. If they passed on it and took a guard or center instead after a 1st round tackle, I can forgive that because we at least have starters at the position. Any other position gets drafted in the 2nd round and I'm

Do you believe ShanaLynch will actually use the high capitol on T?

If the right player is available they can. Remember that did draft McGlinchey with a top 10 pick.

I ask because they only did that because they had a trade in place for Brown if MM was there. Meaning, they only did that because there would be a clear hole. This regime hasn't exactly been big on stacking talent but more about drafting players specifically when a hole opens up....Banks for Tomlinson. McGlinchey for Brown. Burford for Brunskill. They punted on Richburg/Mack in the draft.

They bring in a bunch of JAG's because they know they won't threaten starters.

My point is, will they really draft a T to be proactive or wait until Trent Williams (like Staley) tells them he's hanging it up?

History tells me they won't cross that bridge until it actually happens.

"So we're in this situation, we knew (Alex) Mack had a chance to leave, but you don't want to take that risk. Just stockpiling other players when you can do that at other positions." ~ Kyle Shanahan

I mean that's what most teams do

After they got Williams/McG u expected them to spent another 1st round pick on a tackle lol?

I'm sure OL now, especially PP will be a big emphasis in the offseason. We have a very good QB now so gotta protect him.

And before there was little need for elite PP guys since we basically ran a one read passing offense.

I think it's fair to say we have finally found the franchise QB we have been looking for. We need to protect him. Can't pass on a franchise tackle this year, especially since Trent has already hinted at considering hanging it up last offseason. We probably have 2 years left of him max. Not because of decline in play obviously but just ready to call it quits.

We should train him to legally false start on passing downs. Perhaps not this season but during the off season, unless the rule change.

They are drafting an OT in the first round. It's too obvious for everyone that this is the needed pick. McKivitz just ain't it.

They will draft OT in the first round to replace retiring Trent Williams. I just have this feeling Williams will be hanging it up after this season.

I don't see Trent retiring yet after how he's still moving and playing.
