The 49ers have a quality offensive lineman in Daniel Brunskill, but he appears better served as a backup than a full-time starter entering 2021.

The San Francisco 49ers should be hoping their Round 2 pick from the 2021 NFL Draft, Notre Dame offensive guard Aaron Banks, winds up winning the starting right guard position over the incumbent candidate, Daniel Brunskill.

This isn’t a knock against Brunskill, who has been one of the Niners’ unsung heroes who seemingly came out of nowhere once the Alliance of American Football folded and turned into a useful commodity at a number of positions the last two years.
