49ers rookie right tackle Alex Boone, who went undrafted, has a chance to make the team and perhaps even win a starting job if he can shore up his pass blocking, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Marvel Smith is penciled in as the starter, but he has a nagging back problem and veteran backups Adam Snyder and Barry Sims also are poor pass blockers. Boone once was a top draft prospect but struggled against speed rushers as a senior at Ohio State and then was arrested Feb. 2 for disorderly conduct in which police had to use a taser him twice to subdue him.
