The 49ers may have made both lines better by trading for Trent Williams.
In fact, General Manager John Lynch said that seeing veteran left tackle battle with defensive end Nick Bosa in practice was clearly one of the highlights of camp so far.
“I will say it’s must-see TV to watch those two, “Lynch said in a video tweeted by the team. ‘Everywhere I go on the field, I try to see the whole picture, but my eyes go right there. Two pros who are incredibly blessed with talent. But they are actually technicians and want to be great, and they challenge each other every day.
‘And to respect each other. It looks like they’re trying to kill each other, but then they help each other up. They compare notes. It has been really fun to watch. Two guys who can do as well as anyone in this league and the coolest thing is to hear them say how much better they will do for it. Iron grinding at the highest level. ”
The 49ers had a very good approach in Joe Staley last year, but Williams has a different kind of talent, and will clearly push Bosa if he does not push him around. And working against a player as talented as Bosa will help Williams get rid of all the rust that may have built up while he was not playing for Washington last year.
