Which big name will the 49ers miss the most this season? – andrewh, @ahredsox1
The biggest loss for the 49ers this offseason was Mike McGlinchey. The veteran right tackle struggled at times in pass protection but was better than many believe.
McGlinchey’s replacement, Colton McKivitz hasn’t played much in his career so he’s a bit of an unknown. Like McGlinchey, McKivitz is better as a run blocker than pass protector. If he doesn’t show improvement, this could be a long season for whichever quarterback ends up starting.
Out of last year’s draft picks and undrafted free agents, who is most likely to make a Hufanga-like leap in year two?
