Staley is expected to be the starter at RT for the 49ers.

Staley, who the 49ers traded a first-pick in 2008 and fourth-pick this year to select in the first round, was a left tackle at Central Michigan but is projected to be the 49ers' future starting right tackle, a position he worked at during OTAs with Kwame Harris out with back spasms. If he does not start at right tackle this year, he will serve as a backup at that spot and left tackle.
