One of the better Olines in the NFL, and how was it built?
LT, Joe Staley- 6 years exp.-28th player chosen.
LG,Iupati-3 years exp.-43rd player taken.
C, Goodwin-11years exp.-FA from NO
RG, Boone-3 years exp.-Undtrafted FA- projected as a RT
RT, Anthony Davis-3 years exp.-11th player taken-Drafted as a LT
The point to all of this is 2 #1 draft picks, 1 2nd, one UDFA, and a FA. Staley,Iputai, Davis started from day 1. Boones first year starting and Goodwin has started 5 years of his 11 year career
You have to have high drafts pick that make it play on your line, SF has 3. Then you can fit in a couple around him. For us, if we drafted right, we would have Williams, Carmi, as first round picks starting. Garza, a good vet. and Louis a 7th round pick. Spencer a FA.(not any good) The problem is we never hit on our high draft picks. WE NEED TO DO THAT NOW. The 1st and 2nd rounds picks need to be hits and pick up another guy in FAgency. Then maybe we can start something good with the Oline.
