The idea of the San Francisco 49ers using yet another early pick on their offensive line in the NFL Draft could seem somewhat absurd, especially after selecting offensive tackle Mike McGlinchey at No. 9 overall a year ago.
That said, the McGlinchey pick was something of a shocker, especially since the Niners already had two starting bookends along the O-line in Joe Staley and Trent Brown.
Brown was shipped off, of course, and that won’t happen with Staley entering 2019. But with the veteran turning 35 years old before the regular season begins and in the final year of his current contract, it’s impossible to rule out the idea of San Francisco repeating this action again.
