49ers film room: What Trent Williams brings to San Francisco

If you knew at the conclusion of Super Bowl LIV the San Francisco 49ers would lose veteran left tackle Joe Staley to retirement this offseason, you’d be shocked and arguably panic a bit wondering who could possibly fill the void in 2020.

Turns out, the Niners got a steal of a deal by trading for seven-time Pro Bowl tackle Trent Williams in a deal with the Washington Redskins, sending off two mid-round NFL Draft picks, one in 2020 and another in 2021.

Some could make an argument the 31-year-old Williams is a clear upgrade over Staley at this point in his career.
