Even though im not much for the LeRibeus pick (hopefully im proven wrong), and dont like the Brown trade. The fact is Shanny has paid 10 times more attention to the OL than Snyderatto ever did.

Seeing as it will come up by someone. You can argue whether the Williams and/or LeRibeus picks were worth it til your blue in the face, whether those picks were justified isnt the argument.

What I meant is Shanahan's history of taking offensive linemen high in the draft. Of course there was Trent Williams taken #4 overall in 2010, but historically Shanahan has chosen linemen mostly from the 4th to 7th rounds. The right tackle position is in need of repair also but I don't see Shanahan drafting a RT in the 2nd round. He may get one through free agency. I would like to see Gettis, LeRibeus, and Compton play now but obviously they are not ready. Offensive linemen drafted from the mid rounds on to the later rounds usually have to go through a 2-3 year developmental process. But with an NFL franchise trying to win NOW, who has 2-3 years to wait for them? This is why I think you selected your linemen in the first three rounds if you expect them to start and contribute right away.
