Best Oline, a stable of backs and a QB that can run.

I'm actually kind of curious as to how our scheme will evolve after this draft. At our very core, we're a run first team, but I don't think we'd see a Ravens/Lamar Jackson type of offense. I definitely see though that it'd be a very tricky offense that has all the tools to create tremendous stress on a defense.

I think this is the guy I'm most excited about coming out of this draft, other than Lance. He looks nasty and like a huge upgrade. With Mack and Big Banks in the middle Jimmy might actually be able to step into his throws. Every time he threw off his back foot it looked like a wounded duck and got picked.

49ers selected Notre Dame G Aaron Banks with the No. 48 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Banks (6'5/335) was a three-year starter in South Bend who endeared himself to coaches, teammates, and scouts with surly play and a high football IQ. A technician in pass pro, Banks lets his length and width work for him, sitting back into his hips and letting his man come to him. He has dynamite in his hands, blasting a charge into opponents and resetting in one fluid motion. Because of his length and strength, Banks is able to turn power rushers into kittens. A limited athlete with average foot speed, Banks isn't as skilled on the move, making a better fit for a gap/power scheme. As a rangy, powerful guard who arrives in the NFL with polishes technique and know-how after years of starting at a blueblood, his profile evokes a beefier, slower David DeCastro arriving from Stanford. Banks will join a 49ers offensive line graded by PFF as the NFL's second best run blocking unit in 2020.

This is my favorite write up.
Turn power rushers into kittens and dynamite in his hands

No sacks given up last year and only 2 in over 1200 pass rushing snaps. That's ridiculously good. He also has a much higher grade in zone run blocking (over 80) than gap (55) So much for those "theories" about any leverage lost or might be bad at zone blocking due to his size. Do the research people

What I heard someone say about him, that I really liked...

"Once he latches on--it's over."

Unless Garop is finished, a good offensive line easily makes the offense a top 3 - 5 unit in terms of production with Kyle's play-calling.

It definitely can't hurt his mentality.

His confidence seems shot, whether it's from loss of mobility or being frightened...

Wonder if Banks goes to LG, and Tomlinson to RG? Our left side and middle would be awesome at pass pro, and our right would be our weakness in that area, but atlest we could scheme around the right side being turnstiles, instead of our LG, and RT being turnstiles.

Now that we got RG solidified with Banks, let's extend Tomlinson for a couple more years to free up some space while still keeping the line together.
