The San Francisco 49ers made their third selection of the 2024 NFL Draft, trading up eight spots with the Philadelphia Eagles to select Kansas Jayhawks offensive lineman Dominick Puni at No. 86.
Puni, a 6’5, 315-pound offensive lineman, is a sixth-year senior who played his first four seasons at Central Missouri before ending his career at Kansas as a two-year starter there.
What kind of player is Puni and what does this selection mean for the 49ers?
Puni’s profile
While he played offensive tackle at the collegiate level, Puni projects more as an interior offensive lineman, be it at guard or even center, at the next level, and the third-round pick acknowledged post-draft that the 49ers envision him more in that role.
