Only a few weeks ago, it felt like offensive lineman or bust for the San Francisco 49ers at pick No. 31. Now, it seems the popular pick among mock drafts is the 49ers opting to go with the best player available, whether it ends up being an offensive lineman, wide receiver, or cornerback.
But what if the 49ers used their first and second pick to address the offensive line?
I can hear all the readers doing their best Dennis Reynolds impression, asking, “twoooo offensive linemen?” Only twice since 1950 have the 49ers used both of its first two picks on the offensive line - Anthony Davis and Mike Iupati were taken with both of the 49ers first round picks in 2010, and Forrest Blue and Lance Olssen with the team’s first and third-round picks in 1968 - so there is some precedent from the franchise to make such a decision.
