Who is more vital to success for the 49ers: Banks or Burford?

Last season, the 49ers had newcomers or question marks across the interior of the offensive line. Trent Williams and Mike McGlinchey were locked in at the tackle positions. Jake Brendel had a total of three NFL games under his belt starting at center, while Aaron Banks redshirted in his first season, and Spencer Burford started at right guard in his rookie season.

Fast-forward to 2023, and McGlinchey is in Denver. The 49ers have to feel good about their other four spots as they return their starters to uphold continuity. The sense around the building and listening to the 49ers coaching staff speak is Colton McKivitz is ready to roll at right tackle.
