“Many of the decisions coach Kyle Shanahan, general manager John Lynch and their staffs make this offseason will be geared toward helping Lance in 2022 when, presumably, he takes over as the long-term starter.

“While teams like San Francisco wouldn’t net A-list talent if it plucked a USFL standout for the upcoming 2022 regular-season campaign, there are nevertheless some potential fits the 49ers may be interested in who found themselves recently drafted.”
“They may need to find a starting left guard depending on what happens with Laken Tomlinson in free agency, but they shouldn’t reach just for the sake of position.
