The reality is this is probably overkill.
The good news though, is that it's not really a bad thing. There's nothing wrong with a great offensive line. It can certainly control the game at the LOS. It's not a position like say, CB, where two great ones can still get burnt up and down the field with a poor pass rush.
People talk about how the Ravens had two 1st round tackles playing a good level... but look at the Niners. They have two 1st round tackles, plus Iupati, who's a first rounder... and Solari coaching them up. They can maul people up front. It's certainly hasn't hurt them. Even if Alex Smith flames out, the next guy will be in a great situation. Just like Kaepernick was.
