They're still working on the tackle position but make no mistake, the timing of this deal suggest Thuney was their prime target all along.

100%, and it's easy to understand why :
Both SF and TB ate our line's assholes, and they did it right up the middle. The interior of our line was incredibly suspect.
Our tackles were great- TOO great, really. Fish and Schwartz (and even Remmers) actually covered up a lot of deficiencies along that interior line. So much that when Fish got hurt, any semblance of consistency or chemistry went with him.
When Fish got hurt in 2019, it almost derailed our season.
We can never have that much responsibility for the Oline rest on one person like that again.
We NEEDED to get tough in the middle. We NEED to be able to run the ball on 3rd and 1, 4th and 1, and do it consistently and without the opposing Dline 2 yards in the backfield as soon as the ball is snapped. We have seen that, as great as Mahomes is, he cannot do it all by himself.
