It would be difficult for the San Francisco 49ers to go into the 2024 regular season with the same starting guard as they did this past season. For two seasons, Spencer Burford was a rotational piece with another veteran. The Niners need stability at the position. Under Kyle Shanahan, the right guard has been the least prioritized position.
They’ve been able to “get by” with a fourth-rounder for two seasons, and this is after shuffling through undrafted free agents and journeymen. That has to change. And I believe it will after a handful of mistakes that cost the 49ers a Super Bowl.
