Hell, if LA tagged Slater I'd probably still hand them the two 1sts and pay him top of market. He's that good and we aren't getting a LT like him without selling the farm anyhow.

I was about to say this. I’d probably pay the in division tax to make it happen.

Chargers are a grown up organization now, I’m sure they’ll lock him up this summer. They’re being being pretty shrewd about their FA spending which is a good sign for keeping Slater.

Been taking in some of the A22 that’s out there and I do see the projection KC is making.

Sure, Shanny didn’t ask Moore to do a lot of the stuff he may be asked to do in KC, but I think the requisite technique and foot quickness will be there to at least give OBJr level play as a pass blocker. I think.

It’s on Andy to evolve the offense forward no matter what.

My gut says they wanna make the running game a much more reliable component this year and then build out the intermediate to deep pass game off of that. What better way to help your bigs than let them function as a rush offense, leverage off that with speed at WR to lighten boxes.

On the other hand, I don't think they drafted Joe Alt to play RT for the next 6-7 years.

Matt Lane says Moore reminds him of Thuney in that he looked like a guard trying to play tackle.

I love when he’s wrong, can’t say I’ve ever wanted it to be the case more than on this one.

Watching Moore play LT versus watching Thuney try to play it are two entirely different things. Maybe Moore won't be good enough, but he's not getting walked into the QB. Thuney got absolutely handled often. You don't see that on Moore's tape.

Was off the grid yesterday, so missed the chatter - but holy shit this is about as good as we could have expected from a price/talent standpoint.

Only concern is that Jaylon is pretty damn good at forcing the rush around/deep of the pocket, and Pat has a BAD habit of taking too deep a drop.

I saw some of that as well but I do think it's a bit of a surface level analysis based on what the 49ers had him do.

it's almost identical to what I was saying about Thuney -- he often attacked or took a really short set rather than kick back/out and form a pocket.

Moore does a lot of that. But I think the 49ers asked him to. That's just the nature of their offense.

So I can see why he'd say that but I also don't think that's a real comment on Moore's ability as much as how he was utilized.

Mattydubs on Youtube loved the Jaylon Moore acquisition, giving an A+

HOWEVER, in the comments 49ers fans are saying Moore could not beat out their "bum" RT, just some conflicting analysis

Yeah - Moore's a strange case because by all accounts, he was awful at RT.

But did seem to play quite well in a limited sample at LT. And typically has when called upon over there.

Hard to explain why that might be the case, but it does appear to have some legs to it. In that case, not being able to beat out their shitty RT isn't that critical for us because he ain't gonna be playing RT for us and might just suck at that specific job.

Wanya moved like a totally different player at RT. It’s a harder transition than many think, especially if someone only did one side for basically their entire development.

I already see a much more natural fluidness in Moore’s sets compared to Thuney and I think it does enable him to anchor better.

My thought would be, if Andy Reid asks him to come in and vertical set the majority of the time, well that’s an Andy Reid problem and it would indicate an unwillingness to evolve with the game.

You gotta work around your tackle play these days more often than not. Set them up to succeed. It doesn’t just help them, it helps your $500M QB.

Yeah I am excited about it, other 49ers fans comments say they didn't notice Trent Williams was out at LT and that Moore was subbed in, that is great information

Going to be VERY INTERESTING however if a premier tackle prospect falls to the Chiefs at #31 in the NFL draft, I know we need DT/DL but I wonder if we take one of the tackle prospects IF they fall (they prob won't)
