49ers GM Lynch Confident in Offensive Line Ahead of 2025 Draft

The San Francisco 49ers are facing scrutiny over their offensive line, especially following the departure of starting left guard Aaron Banks. General manager John Lynch remains optimistic about the current roster, noting that players like center Jake Brendel and right tackle Colton McKivitz have performed well. Despite concerns from fans and analysts, Lynch stated that the team believes they have a 'steady group' and will look to improve through the upcoming NFL Draft rather than making drastic changes. Coach Kyle Shanahan echoed this sentiment, defending the offensive line's performance while acknowledging the need to fill the left guard position. The team's approach has been to prioritize other positions in the draft, with only two offensive linemen selected in the first two rounds since Shanahan's hiring. As they prepare for the draft, the 49ers are expected to remain focused on building around their core players while addressing any gaps in the offensive line.
