49ers 2020 NFL Draft preview: Growing needs along offensive line
While not as flashy as other San Francisco 49ers needs in the 2020 NFL Draft, the offensive line could stand for some notable reinforcements in a topheavy class this year.

As far as the offensive line goes, the Niners brought in veteran center Weston Richburg in 2018 on a lucrative free-agent deal, then used their first pick in that year’s NFL Draft on right tackle Mike McGlinchey when it didn’t appear the team needed to grab an offensive lineman early.
