The 49ers' offensive tackles are outstanding. Williams is an elite left tackle, leaving the 49ers in great hands after Joe Staley hung ‘em up in April. McGlinchey is in a higher tier among peers working on the right. There are, however, some question marks on the interior.
There would be far fewer if center Weston Richburg were healthy, but he remains on the PUP list rehabbing a patellar tendon injury and won’t be back for at least the season’s first six weeks. Garland is dealing with some injury issues himself right now, which might swing Brunksill into the middle during Week 1. The jury still is out on that.
The 49ers need Tomlinson to be a rock at left guard and he will be. How the 49ers fare at center and right guard, while operating with less-than-ideal depth, is a significant issue the 49ers must work through.
