I'm pretty sure we go with a rg in the 1st. It wouldn't make sense to not address a position of need with a late 1st round pick, especially since we've basically covered all the rest of the slots.

I'm calling it now, Kevin Zietler at #30.

He fits perfectly with our run heavy wco.

We brought in Lutui today. Don't see that as an answer, per se, but it's something.

 

[RobertPhD01]

Lutui isn't to bad if healthy and works on pass protection!

looks like they're hedging their bets on kilgore being able to step in. maybe june cuts will offer a decent RG.

 

[dredinis21]

Even if we draft an OG in the first 3 rounds, I would STILL expect them to sign an average OG in FA or after June cuts. Going into the season with two young players with limited snaps in the NFL would be silly for this team given where we were at the end of last season. Then again, wtf do I know?

Lutui on the move?
9:32AM ET
Deuce Lutui | Cardinals | Interested: 49ers?

Veteran OG Deuce Lutui was an effective inside presence for the Arizona Cardinals during his tenure there, though he had issues at times with his offseason conditioning habits. The Cards have elected to go another direction, but that doesn't mean that Lutui isn't drawing interest elsewhere.

According to what a source has revealed to Matt Maiocco of CSN Bay Area, the San Francisco 49ers hosted Lutui for a visit on Monday. For the Niners, Lutui would provide some competition at RG for Daniel Kilgore.

ESPN NFC West blogger Mike Sando offers his appraisal of what Lutui can bring to the table:

Mike Sando
Lutui is plenty talented

"He can be a good starting guard. Lutui has not been consistent enough in his approach to stay in the lineup, however, and his relative lack of versatility makes him less valuable as a backup."

I dont know man. If you have plans then I think you should go somewhere other than Olive Garden. That place aint that great...

So...we're basically going to exchange underachieving RG's with the Cards?

Just might, but i see us signing Lutui for much cheaper then Snyder.

If he's motivated, Lutui is a better starting OG than Snyder IMO. He's obviously less versatile. My concern would be the same as with Rachal in there next to Davis: Lutui is talented, but he's inconsistent and not all that assignment-sound. Rachal and Davis next to each other was a disaster last year. Davis may just need a more heady vet next to him for now.

Unless one of those young rg's was a Badger. Those guys are so well prepared on the o line. I personally would be 100% secure as a fan knowing we're plugging Zietler or Konz into the starting role.

I'd like to see Cordy Glenn fall to us. I think it's possible giving that Guards are not usually high priority targets. Glenn would give us a massive and powerful body to run behind. This would create quite a force on the left and right side of the line with him and Iupati in the running game.

I do think that we could get a "good" guard in the 1st round. I think though as others iut would be beneficial to sign a veteran to a 3 year deal! Go 49ers!!

Higher contracts for good OG's on the open market have forced teams to consider drafting G's higher in the draft. The days of watching solid guards fall in the draft simply because they are Guards, are over...

Zeitler looks better than Glenn IMHO:

Glenn looks lazy on a lot of plays...

Zeitler is the real deal. He's not in DeCastro's league, but he should be the 2nd OG off the board.

Let me elaborate on the Zietler clips. He was basically bullying a first round d-lineman in Devon Still.

Zietler needs to be our pick at #30.
