On Monday, we debated who meant more to the 49ers 2023 success between Spencer Burford and Aaron Banks. Both guards had their ups and downs during their initial seasons as starters, but also showed enough promise where the team didn’t feel like they needed to add depth at either spot this offseason.
Pro Football Focus ranked each team’s offensive line ahead of the regular season, and the Niners came in just below average at No. 18:
18. SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (DOWN 11)
Projected Starting Lineup
LG Aaron Banks
If it wasn’t for Trent Williams, this line would be a concerning group on paper.
