We have the BEST OGs in the LEAGUE !!!!

Remember how many people in the zone complained about Lynch picking him in the draft.

How did he look yesterday?

I focused on him yesterday—wanted to see how he would rebound from the injury. Based on the eye test, he struggled a bit. Almost got Brock killed on one play, as I recall. Not concerned, though. He was a rock all season.

I'll gladly eat crow. I wasn't happy on draft day and I'm a huge ND fan. Didn't think he fit the system. He's proved me wrong with a fantastic season

I just love how he embraces and hugs/lifts everyone after a big play or touchdown, a true team player.

Also saw his interview of what happened to Deebo, looked like he wanted to go and get some extra smoke from seattle.

Agree. So glad he is back in the lineup

Saw this and I thought it was interesting

Dawand Jones of Ohio State wont be thought of as a fit for Miami's offense. But when SF drafted OG Aaron Banks in R2, his profile (6'5" & 338 lbs., 5.35 speed) also didn't seem a fit, so McDaniel was asked if his drafting signals a change in SF's scheme.

Thanks for posting. No doubt if they could find bigger, stronger, faster unicorns like Trent Williams at every spot, they would.

I genuinely think, like we're seeing with Wilks now and Kocurek every year, Foerster started getting more pull starting last year. No doubt. You can really tell when he's being interviewed.

And so far that's working out so it wouldn't surprise me if he gets even more pull this year and going forward. I think he wants to build a dominant and young OL.

I think this year he'll get one of the first 3 picks (maybe the 1st pick) and another first pick next year if Trent Williams retires.

If I'm the 49ers I draft a RT, FS, & either EDGE or TE with first 3 picks, then in 2024 1st rd draft the best LT available to groom behind Trent, or takeover if he retires.

Your position targets certainly line up with the pre draft connections tracker.

--- Pre Draft Player Connections Update ---

POS - Volume | TDN Top 150
WR - 28 | 8
S - 25 | 8
T - 17 | 8
D/ER - 18 | 6
CB - 17 | 5
TE - 15 | 5
LB - 14 | 2
DT - 16 | 1
RB - 12 | 1
IOL - 9 | 0
QB - 6 | 0
PK - 4 | 0

I remember saying it's all good on the OL, and Banks / Brendel stepped up with good years. I look forward to the inevitable panic on 'who will possibly replace McG', a player this community dumped on for years
