The nice thing about offensive lineman is that they're individual players that make RBs, WRs, and QBs all look better than they are.
For my money on the offensive side of the ball, I'm much less interested in skill position players (beyond QB) than I am securing the interior line (and even having a succession plan in place for Staley).
Furthering this stance is that JGQ is the real golden nugget in all of this, and although sack rates dramatically dropped when he came in because of what he's good at and what Beathard's bad at, he was still really getting smacked around due to the 9ers deficiencies on offensive line. Part of that was the turnstile life that Beadles lives which won't be a problem next year with Brown coming back, but Fusco, Kilgore, and Tomlinson aren't going to cut it either.
Marvin49" I'd love to see Saquon in SF said:100% agreed on both Garnett and Tomlinson.
And I'm seriously not opposed to targeting Barkley (if he's there) with that pick.
In my ideal scenario they're primarily attacking O-Line through free agency where they're spending real money on a center and a guard, and then bringing Fusco back and letting Garnett, Fusco, and Tomlinson compete for the second starting guard spot (Fusco as backup center still).
Offensive line is just a mess to evaluate at the college level these days, so I'd much rather they take the free-agency-for-assurances and late-in-the-draft-for-diamonds-in-the-rough approach to that position group, and hope they stumble onto another Trent Brown type while relying on average-to-above-average lineman with less upside in FA.

They just couldn't punch it in because they didn't really have a redzone presence. Their top targets were 5'9" and 5'8" respectively. Thats also why Gould set a record by kicking 15 field goals in 3 weeks. They kept moving the ball down the field, but couldn't punch it in.

Thanks Pete. Competition in the NFC West is better off for it.
