Offensive Guard Joe Thuney
There is nothing wrong with left guard Laken Tomlinson. He has been solid since the 49ers acquired him just before the 2017 season. I just tend to subscribe to the thought you should always try to upgrade on the offensive line, because the safety of your franchise quarterback should always be a priority.
Coincidentally, Tomlinson’s contract also has an easy out after the 2020 season and would save the Niners $5 million if cut.
This would open the door for New England Patriots guard Joe Thuney, who was a second-team All-Pro last year, and has the kind of athleticism head coach Kyle Shanahan drools over.
