San Francisco 49ers general manager Trent Baalke acknowledged that Brandon Thomas is likely a favorite to replace Mike Iupati on the offensive line. We break down what this means.
The San Francisco 49ers saw left guard Mike Iupati depart the team via free agency this offseason, but they are hoping to have an internal replacement. During his media session last week, general manager Trent Baalke confirmed that Brandon Thomas was drafted with the potential departure of Iupati in mind.
