Jimmy G was probably giddy with excitement when his team acquired Trent Williams. Now he may have his shot with Larry Warford.
Williams is undoubtedly the best left tackle in the league. Warford is considered elite among right guards. A pairing of the two keeps the 49ers in playoff contention and continues to set them apart from the pretenders.
Having allowed only seven sacks in the past three seasons, Warford would immediately fix a glaring hole in the 49er’s pass rush protection.
