@TheSFNiners Hey let’s post videos of Fred struggling against a FB on a stutter router. Other teams aren’t looking at this at all.



This is actually a very logical take and do believe it does carry some validity Evaluating OL is an extremely specialized skillset and I know real ball knowers who won’t even touch the position for that reason I do think the 49ers have a tendency to put more weight into physical tools over technical prowess at times and that’s exemplified in taking Banks over Meinerz and Burford over Tom who were 3rd and 4th round picks


Just minding my business then I hear “see ya Brad” from across the room How can you not love George Kittle 😂







The last time the 49ers used a first or second-round pick on an offensive lineman was in 2021, when they drafted Aaron Banks. Andrew Whitworth believes that’s not by accident: “To me, it does scream that maybe they just don’t have a lot of confidence in their ability to select the right one, because this is the problem with offensive linemen: When you’re going to allocate a first-round pick or second-round pick to an offensive lineman, a lot of people love that theory, but you better be damn good at picking it, because when you hit on an offensive lineman, it can be unbelievable for your franchise early in the draft because a great offensive line, a great D-line is the story to successful football teams. But when you miss on a high pick like that and you draft an unproductive lineman, you are cooked because now you’re getting a second, third, fourth-tier lineman who’s going to have to play. I think there’s a lot of coaches, a lot of GMs and scouts and everything else out there that, I don’t know if they understand the position as well as maybe they think they do.” via: @NBCS49ers
