Can we really rule 49ers' interest in Quenton Nelson just because guard hasn't been a position of massive investment in the past?
I'm not so sure. LG has, very clearly, been the one questionable position on the OL. Connor Colby has done well in the run game but ranks last of all qualifying guards in pass-block efficiency, having allowed 15 pressures already this season.
Nelson is a perennial All-Pro still in his prime. Elite pass- and run-blocking metrics that could pair monstrously well with Trent Williams (and some George Kittle combo blocks) on the left side of the O-line.
We saw Kansas City shift to a strategy of heavy O-line investment around this time of Patrick Mahomes' career, post-2020. (Interestingly, the Chiefs seemed to actually de-prioritize WR in favor of OL around their superstar QB.)
Might Nelson's potential availability on the trade market tempt the 49ers to push their O-line, already ranked #3 in cumulative pass-blocking efficiency, to stratospheric levels?…
Why it's #1 Patrick Mahomes (top-50)

- Oct 12 David Lombardi (X) It's easy to forget that Brock Purdy was on one to begin the game. George Kittle dropped a great 3rd-down throw (he had the flu so gets a pass) and then Purdy and Evans connected for these two ridiculous receptions. Seattle's defense wasn't stopping SF early. Cowing's PR fumble opened a door for the Seahawks. How much do the 49ers win by without that rupture in momentum? · Quoting Alex Sherman: Looking at NextGen stats: In the first quarter, first drive of the game yesterday, Brock Purdy hit Mike Evans on a 13-yard pass on 3rd and 7. The next play, he found him for a 2-yard TD. Those two completions were the 2nd and 3rd most improbable completions of all Week 5 games and two of the top 12 most improbable of the entire season.
