The niners might be thinking of signing a big name veteran tackle after Trent is gone. After all when trent is gone you will have the cap money to do that-maybe

Not to mention, we currently have a more than 4 OTs on the roster and a little depth at guard. After they get deal done with Trent, they'll more than likely target anything other than O line early...
I hope you're right because we sure can use a late gem (if lucky) and solid depth to groom
And THAT would be a horrible mistake by Shanny & Co.
We need to draft for his replacement regardless if we get a deal done with Trent or not. This is a can that can no longer be kicked down the road.

I feel you there. But I really didn't overlook him. My thinking is that we draft Trent's replacement with our (hopefully) 1st pick, or 2nd pick, kick McKivitz to LG while the rookie takes on RT. Then, once Trent is gone, move McKivitz back to RT and the rookie to LT in 2027. But that's how I see it. I doubt Shanny & Co. are reading MHO.
I don't like the idea of bouncing players all over the place from one side to another and back again. You need continuity. Better to let the newbie go at it at guard. At least he will be on the same side.
I'm not against that either. Totally agree. Let him play LG then move to LT when Trent is gone. I'm all for it. But Trent's replacement need to be addressed high in this draft.
