There’s a scenario where McKivitz makes a position switch to guard and snags the starting right guard spot. A truncated offseason may rob him of that opportunity. What the 49ers can reasonably expect is McKivitz takes to a position change to the interior while also excelling at tackle. Having another player like Daniel Brunskill who can play anywhere on the line effectively allows the coaching staff a ton of flexibility in how they construct their game day roster. If he’s not starting, he could find a reserve spot relatively high on the depth chart.
