I've been saying for years that the O-line has been neglected here. The Niners would be a good model for building a sustainable running game around either a young or mediocre QB. They spent not one, but two 1st round picks on O linemen in the 2010 draft. In 2008 they drafted a G in the 2nd round. In 2007, they drafted left tackle Joe Staley in the 1st round. We have drafted ONE O-lineman in the top two rounds of the last ELEVEN drafts. I will concede that the 2012 1st round pick almost has to be a QB, but I want to see more than one high OL draft selection a decade.
