It is incredibly difficult to replace a starting laptop, let alone show Staley a legend at the position. So it's not surprising that despite Staley's injury 49ers are going to use the depth on their roster to try and solve for the problem. In the long term the 49ers have a plan to cover Staley as he moves to retirement in the next few years, but that involves shuffling not necessarily aquiring. At this point in the season it would also mean paying more than they need to for a left tackle and give them a big contract that they will have coing the coming years I can't see them putting money on another offensive lineman
