One area of focus with the San Francisco 49ers this offseason has been the state of their offensive line. The team lost left guard Laken Tomlinson to the New York Jets during free agency, and center Alex Mack retired. In addition, right tackle Mike McGlinchey is working his way back after suffering a torn quad tendon during a week eight loss to Arizona.
Needing to replace at least two starting offensive linemen, possibly three is cause for concern; however, there is reason to believe the offensive line will be better than it was last season.
Kyle Shanahan has shown the ability to win without household names upfront.
