Predicting 49ers offensive line depth chart after adding Alex Mack
By Peter Panacy
Current 49ers O-linemen on the roster
The 2020 pandemic creates an interesting wrinkle for the Niners’ offseason roster, particularly with opt-out players who elected to sit out last season.
Those contracts effectively roll over into 2021 now, and two players — Jake Brendel and Shon Coleman — now find themselves competing for a spot on the roster this training camp.
For now, here’s the list of San Francisco’s O-linemen:
- Alex Mack
- Weston Richburg
- Jake Brendel
- Daniel Brunskill
- Corbin Kaufusi
- Colton McKivitz
- Dakoda Shepley
- Laken Tomlinson
- Isaiah Williams
- Justin Skule
- Shon Coleman
- Mike McGlinchey
- Trent Williams
It’s already a crowded group despite there being some notable questions about both depth and long-term solutions at a number of positions.
Case in point, both Tomlinson and McGlinchey are entering contract years this season. With McGlinchey, the 49ers have until May 3 to decide whether or not they want to apply the fifth-year option allocated to former first-round NFL Draft picks.
But there aren’t exactly notable position battles, at least not yet, at either one of those two spots.
There are battles at other spots, though, and these storylines will be worth monitoring during training camp.
