San Francisco 49ers offensive line coach Chris Foerster discussed the Niners’ team-building philosophy during Wednesday's media availability.
Spoken like a man who understands his employer— and has been told no a time or two—Foerster delved into why he believes it makes sense to invest in skill players early in the NFL Draft, as opposed to offensive lineman:
“This is my personal opinion, if they ask me, invest in guys that touch the ball, guys that can touch the ball and score touchdowns. And then there’s a range of guys, second, third, fourth round, fifth round even, that we will find starting offensive linemen in.
