There might not be many modifications approaching the offensive line for the San Francisco 49ers.
Left guard Aaron Banks left in free company which opened a gap at that place, however there’s been some notion that middle Jake Brendel and proper sort out Colton McKivitz may be in peril of dropping their beginning spots.
Basic supervisor John Lynch on Monday indicated the group was pleased with their beginning OL, and head coach Kyle Shanahan on Tuesday particularly touted Brendel’s play throughout his three years because the 49ers’ starter and stated there will not be any competitors at middle within the offseason.
“I do not actually have a look at it entering into as Jake’s competing,” Shanahan stated on the NFL’s annual league assembly. “I feel Jake’s performed at a fairly excessive degree. I feel our entire O-line has. It is gonna be onerous dropping Banks. It is actually onerous dropping Jaylon Moore’s who’s been an awesome swing sort out who’s gotten to play lots with Trent (Williams) being down half of final yr. So these are the issues we have actually gotta look to exchange.”
That is extra proof the 49ers aren’t more likely to choose an offensive lineman within the first spherical of this yr’s draft. Whereas the skin notion says they want main upgrades, the GM and head coach have each backed their beginning 5. Maybe they view changing Williams as a necessity value addressing in Spherical 1 after they’re selecting No. 11 general, however it would not sound like they’re keen to seek out an offensive lineman who will fill a beginning job in 2025.
