“My guess is Puni won’t start right away as a rookie, but he’ll be the first offensive lineman off the bench. Meaning if a guard gets injured, he’ll be the next man up. And if center Jake Brendel gets injured, Jon Feliciano will move to center and Puni will play right guard.”
“Green is not a developmental prospect — he’ll turn 24 in November. So theoretically he should be ready to contribute if the 49ers need him to. And the 49ers need him to.”
“Shoring up that third CB spot was a clear priority for San Francisco this offseason, but in true 49ers fashion where CB play is prioritized below defensive line play, they invested more in quantity than quality. The result is a position group where several players will enter training camp with equal chance to either start or be cut from the team. To add intrigue to the matter, the 49ers spent a second-round pick on a cornerback in this year’s draft, making it the earliest they’ve ever selected a CB in the draft during the John Lynch-Kyle Shanahan era.”
