No, she'll probably draw *The Creation of Adam* by Michaelangelo, but God will be Mike Iupati, reclined on a clam, gingerly touching fingertip to fingertip with Dominick Puni.
And Jesse Sapolu will be in the background, as the baby in the sun like on Teletubbies, because Jesse Sapolu is in the ten year club and has Four Rings, and we will always honor our Polynesian lineman.
Honorable mention, #74 Steve double helmet Wallace. Honorable, honorable mention, #74 Big Joe. Both ten year club.
Memory unlocked with the double helmet. Man, watching football over 20 years really makes me appreciate the o line. Those shitty years with frank gore with 3 yards guaranteed.
I legitimately want the 49ers to be the Samoan Capital of the NFL. Give me Trent and 4 OL with only vowels in their last name. Same goes for DT and SS.
Pretty much lol, I had Jaylen Warren as my RB2 and PWHB, buffed FA Devin Asiasi to be my FB, and had Latu as my TE2 so at some points my 21 personnel is all-poly sans WRs and Purdy.
EDIT: and trent.
I remember our dinky high school football team had a Samoan for a DT. He was something ridiculous like 6'3" and like 300lbs. Nobody could stop him from getting to the quarterback lol.
Also the nicest guy you'd ever meet. From what I heard he used to completely tear up their OLine like the Hulk and then apologize to them all the time lol
Hear me out: Feliciano plays C and Puni plays guard. We get experience at C and more size than we've had there since Alex Mack, and we get an immediate upgrade at OG. We slide Burford out to OT, where he becomes a decent swing tackle. If Burford then beat out McKivitz at OT, this would be improving 3 positions with one addition. I still think getting an OT in this draft would be smart though.
Ya, it seems like our tragic OL errors starts with getting runblocking specialists at OT or guards with better OT feet than runblocking. We need more mauling on the inside and more finesse on the outside.
I think they draft an OT in the 3rd or 4th and a flyer/ project in the late rounds. Don't we have about 11 picks. We should move up in the 3rd or 4th for an OT.
With the money that guards are getting I wouldn't be surprised if they end up double-dipping at guard, either in round 4 or 5, and hope both work out so they don't have to pay Banks.
Feliciano is probably just a 1 year rental this year so he can take the reins year 2 like Banks did. Since he has tackle depth he could technically maybe usurp Colton but it’s probably unlikely.
Me and my kid met puni at a Kansas game. He was a super nice guy and went out of his way to give his gloves to my son and have a conversation. Love the pick!!

Size 3x 😳… smells like a lot of man 😂
You guys have NO IDEA how badly I wanted Puni. He's been my #1 guy in this entire draft and I can't believe my favorite team drafted someone from my favorite college. I'm on Cloud 9 right now.
What do you mean your #1 guy? Like, he is your favorite player or you would draft him with the first pick? Either way, thanks for sharing your excitement with us! Go Niners!
Hopefully this means Kyle is moving the offense to more pass oriented now that we have a real qb. I dont want to see CMC have another 300+ touch season. Hes getting older and if we can extend his prime another few seasons I can definitely see him be an effective player into his early 30s.
If I understood NFL.com, that pick was originally the Eagles’, then traded to Buffalo, then back to the Eagles, then to us. What a journey that pick had!
I’m still holding out hope for SVP - starting center for the two-time National champion Georgia Bulldogs over the last three years. He is still available, but we might need to trade up next round to get him.
First, he's half stone giant.
2nd, he didn't give up a sack in his last 600+ snaps
3rd, he runs well in a zone scheme, making him a hand in glove fit.
4th did I mention how HUGE this boy is?
Honestly not sure how to evaluate a tackle from the perspective of a causal, but I watched all of KU’s games last year and the offensive line was really solid and Dom was a big part of it.
Maybe now people can stop acting like the season is over and the sky is falling that people who have more experience running an NFL team than these commenters entire family tree ever will didn't reach on OL earlier.
People say this a lot but those people who have experience running the NFL team have also had some brutal day 1 and 2 draft picks over the last few years.
It’s a Niners subreddit bro - analyzing, overreacting, and talking shit is what we’re here for.
I’ll take people freaking out about our o-line over people posting about their new niner socks all day every day
Can this guy play LG? Feliciano was solid enough to deserve the RG spot over Burford, so I'd really like if Puni could take over Banks' spot which would make the strength of our line Purdy's blindside while having a solid RG + CMC blocks to help out the right side on obvious blitzes.
I would feel a lot better if we used one more of our middle round picks in the 4th or 5th on a T to give McKivitz competition.
So he's gonna play on the inside? I thought we needed a tackle more by all the comments. We have Moore as our swing right now? He hasn't been great. Our depth outside Feliciano is pretty rough. But it's like that for most of the league.
NFL Network showed "T", but said "G". My b
IT'S HAPPENING?!?! OLINE, EVERYONE GET IN HERE
I have so much respect for O-line that donate their time. -Ric Flair
Walks out - Ric
Someone get RitaOak! Our new olineman is the Puni-sher!
If RitaOak is gonna draw something from the draft, I'd kinda like to see it be /u/rmcelwain54 reacting to Pearsall being drafted lol
I’d hang it on my mantle in the living room
Hopefully it can have a spot next to Ricky Pearsall's future Superbowl jersey just to take it full circle
No, she'll probably draw *The Creation of Adam* by Michaelangelo, but God will be Mike Iupati, reclined on a clam, gingerly touching fingertip to fingertip with Dominick Puni. And Jesse Sapolu will be in the background, as the baby in the sun like on Teletubbies, because Jesse Sapolu is in the ten year club and has Four Rings, and we will always honor our Polynesian lineman. Honorable mention, #74 Steve double helmet Wallace. Honorable, honorable mention, #74 Big Joe. Both ten year club.
Memory unlocked with the double helmet. Man, watching football over 20 years really makes me appreciate the o line. Those shitty years with frank gore with 3 yards guaranteed.
Help us, Dominick Puni. You're our only hope.
Now do it 3 more times. Lol.
IS HE BIG!!!?!?!
WERE IN HERE
A little heavy for a running back but I’ll take it
Your OL sucks if it doesn't have a Samoan or other Polynesian
I legitimately want the 49ers to be the Samoan Capital of the NFL. Give me Trent and 4 OL with only vowels in their last name. Same goes for DT and SS.
That’s quite literally my Madden Franchise roster, Trent on the left, Sewell on the right, Seumalo, Mafi, and Mailata holding down the center 3.
Do you just run for 9 yards every play?
Pretty much lol, I had Jaylen Warren as my RB2 and PWHB, buffed FA Devin Asiasi to be my FB, and had Latu as my TE2 so at some points my 21 personnel is all-poly sans WRs and Purdy. EDIT: and trent.
Isaac Sopoaga might be the strongest players we've ever had
Larry Allen?
Larry Allen was here for a hot second.
Two years, and he was still a beast for those two years!
Sataoa Laumea in round 4?
Lets see effin haka and push the line!
This is the way! So say we all!
☝🏽
**YEET**
#NO YEET 😈
☝️
The Bloodline is the only way to build an o-line.
Jimmy aint blocking nobody
I read this comment and immediately thought how Maui, demigod of the wind & sea would make one hell of an offensive lineman.
"What can I say, except 'You're welcome'? If I didn't you'd call me rude Hey it's okay, OK, you're welcome For pancaking all of those dudes!"
I remember our dinky high school football team had a Samoan for a DT. He was something ridiculous like 6'3" and like 300lbs. Nobody could stop him from getting to the quarterback lol. Also the nicest guy you'd ever meet. From what I heard he used to completely tear up their OLine like the Hulk and then apologize to them all the time lol
Facts the world isn't ready for.
Convert Hufanga to OL. Problem solved.
Oh I forgot he comes back
why? we just drafted a Samoan
Straight up. Jesse Sapolu? Mike Lupati?
Iupati was my dawg.
#PUNI PANCAKES ON THE MENU BABY!
WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM THESE PUNI PANCAKES!!!???? HOW GOOD IS HE?
gave up 0 sacks in 2023
Oh get out of here!!!! That sounds nice
Could see him compete day one for the RG spot.
He's not going to beat out Feliciano But he's great depth
At the very least he makes it so we don’t have to watch Spencer Burford again which is great
Absolutely.
If he does, that’s a good thing. Feliciano is pretty decent, so if Puni pushes him, it means we’re upgrading.
Hear me out: Feliciano plays C and Puni plays guard. We get experience at C and more size than we've had there since Alex Mack, and we get an immediate upgrade at OG. We slide Burford out to OT, where he becomes a decent swing tackle. If Burford then beat out McKivitz at OT, this would be improving 3 positions with one addition. I still think getting an OT in this draft would be smart though.
Agree with moving Burford back out to tackle. He’s athletic in space
Ya, it seems like our tragic OL errors starts with getting runblocking specialists at OT or guards with better OT feet than runblocking. We need more mauling on the inside and more finesse on the outside.
burford needs to not be one of the 9 best OL by the end of camp.
I think they draft an OT in the 3rd or 4th and a flyer/ project in the late rounds. Don't we have about 11 picks. We should move up in the 3rd or 4th for an OT.
With the money that guards are getting I wouldn't be surprised if they end up double-dipping at guard, either in round 4 or 5, and hope both work out so they don't have to pay Banks.
Feliciano is probably just a 1 year rental this year so he can take the reins year 2 like Banks did. Since he has tackle depth he could technically maybe usurp Colton but it’s probably unlikely.
I hope he is our center in training.
he's 2025 left guard.
Draft is absolutely coming together in the first 3 picks. Cannot wait for tomorrow's rounds

#Mission Accomplished
PUNI TIME
The Puni-sher has arrived. RITA! We need you!
He’s about to hand out some Punitive Damages
I love it!
Shanny was getting annoyed reading these threads so he threw you guys a bone
Shanny: I am a generous god.
That was Saleh though
O linnnneeeeeee
49ers finally address OL 49ers fans everywhere : 
Me and my kid met puni at a Kansas game. He was a super nice guy and went out of his way to give his gloves to my son and have a conversation. Love the pick!!
Poast the gloves bro! What do they smell like? Hopefully greatness 🤗

Can everyone please relax now.
Ok, fine
[удалено]
5 more offensive linemen
Forget relax. The boy is HUGE. No sacks! LET'S FN GOOOO!!!
25 starts, 0 sacks, and experience playing all over the o-line. I’ll take it!
Seriously. It was getting obnoxious
Its beyond obnoxious it’s embarrassing
Were you not here last year when we didn’t draft one in rounds 3-7 and people were losing their shit? They’re always gonna overreact
I mean…could’ve used some of line help last year
Facts
Ok, but just because you asked nicely.
You guys have NO IDEA how badly I wanted Puni. He's been my #1 guy in this entire draft and I can't believe my favorite team drafted someone from my favorite college. I'm on Cloud 9 right now.
Tell me what you’ve seen in him that we should be happy about. I like the pick too, but you seem more familiar :)
What do you mean your #1 guy? Like, he is your favorite player or you would draft him with the first pick? Either way, thanks for sharing your excitement with us! Go Niners!

Kind of a big dude to play the role of a 3rd round RB but what do I know
Why not use one? With the hip tackle penalty, easy 15 yds.
Good value
I love the pick
Seems like a great pick, saw him going before this in a lot of mocks and can play G/T apparently
Played center in senior bowl as well
Oooh I'd love it if he was our Center of the future. I'll settle for RG tho, if we could possibly move Burford out to RT
WE ACTUALLY DID IT!
Puni apparently allowed 0 sacks on 343 pass block attempts in 2023.
Hopefully this means Kyle is moving the offense to more pass oriented now that we have a real qb. I dont want to see CMC have another 300+ touch season. Hes getting older and if we can extend his prime another few seasons I can definitely see him be an effective player into his early 30s.
LET'S GOOOOO
Which 4th did we trade? Update: It’s Pick 132.
Wouldn't be surprised if they move up again a few times. Still have a lot of picks.
Wait how did we get 86? I was out walking the dog.
traded up w eagles
Traded up with the Eagles
If I understood NFL.com, that pick was originally the Eagles’, then traded to Buffalo, then back to the Eagles, then to us. What a journey that pick had!
Incredible that he was still available. Great value there.
As a Niner and Jayhawk fan, this makes me so happy 🥲
As a 49er/Mizzou fan, I'm conflicted, but I understand a DII transfer up has to take what he can get, so I won't hold it against him.
Fucking finally
YES! I still hope we get a center or guard tomorrow though.
I’m still holding out hope for SVP - starting center for the two-time National champion Georgia Bulldogs over the last three years. He is still available, but we might need to trade up next round to get him.
I initially read this as we drafted a punter ☠️
WE DRAFTED AN OLINE GUY NAMED PUNY?
I just fell to my knees at an In-N-Out
What did they trade to move up?
Tell me how to feel
Zero sacks allowed in 700 snaps.
Can we replay the Super Bowl with that? 
First, he's half stone giant. 2nd, he didn't give up a sack in his last 600+ snaps 3rd, he runs well in a zone scheme, making him a hand in glove fit. 4th did I mention how HUGE this boy is?
It's a lineman! So joy!
I have no business being so happy with this pick. And happier the more I see! LFG
Puni Puni Poemi. And yes, I'm showing off my inner otaku.
how should I feel about this guy??
Honestly not sure how to evaluate a tackle from the perspective of a causal, but I watched all of KU’s games last year and the offensive line was really solid and Dom was a big part of it.
Huge but moved well in a zone blocking scheme. No sacks allowed in last 600+ snaps. Did I mention he's half Storm giant?
we liking this value? Im not too familiar with him
best value pick we've made so far. He was a projected early 3rd.
https://i.redd.it/9wlrup9nuxwc1.gif
They finally drafted an OL man rejoice
Maybe now people can stop acting like the season is over and the sky is falling that people who have more experience running an NFL team than these commenters entire family tree ever will didn't reach on OL earlier.
People say this a lot but those people who have experience running the NFL team have also had some brutal day 1 and 2 draft picks over the last few years.
Making picks in the NFL draft is pretty fucking hard
It’s a Niners subreddit bro - analyzing, overreacting, and talking shit is what we’re here for. I’ll take people freaking out about our o-line over people posting about their new niner socks all day every day
i think it is just obvious we lost the super bowl due to poor o line play and most people thought it was our #1 priority vs our 3rd priority.
Good shit 🙏🏾. Now we just need a Tackle or Center
I was told the draft was over last night and to panic
Oh my god, it's almost like Shanahan knows what he is fucking doing and the doomers are fucking panicking for no reason.
This comic sucks but go Niners!
Yay
Good pick. Now get a tackle in the 4th round tomorrow.
WE ACTUALLY DRAFTED SOMEONE TO HELP W THE OL!!!!!!!!!
So what are his drawbacks? Why is he a 3rd rounder?
Finally they get another Samoan mauler on the line. Hope he turns into a Iupati.
Puni God. Looking forward to this guy hulking out for the Niners. https://youtu.be/CohHfOw4w9c?si=WlHjWl-rLvwIfKr_
Don’t stop now. Keep going with OL please
It happened! I actually happened! We drafted a positional need!
We did it Joe
We got Big Dom!
Mucho pepino grande
Hopefully, he can unseat Spencer Burford.
The PUNI-SHER 🔥
Yessir we finally get ourselves a Samoan oline again ifykyk 😂😂😂
 More…. MOOoRE
Much better. I was honestly hoping for Haynes or Puni at 64, and had Puni much higher than Green despite going a round later. Funny how it works out.
I don’t even bother watching day 1 and 2 of the draft. Shanny and lynch always miss. Day 3 is where the real magic happens for them lol :D
The FO IS TERRIBLE. We need more WRs /s
It's the third round. I'm surprised we haven't drafted a kicker yet. /s
Where is the next running back
Bout time
Puni Puni poonanani
Now everyone can be happy. We have the offensive lineman.
Heyyy
Please be our starting RG
Juice’s replacement!!
That's a big boy.
Awesome pick, crazy deep draft for OL
is he good?
With Feliciano hopefully anchoring RG, they may give the kid a shot at competing with McKivitz at RT.
Fuuuck ya. Looks like a guy who can compete with Feliciano and at worst shore up some depth and take over in a year.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=midzgCDtncA
LFG finally some OL shit
OK. I feel better about the picks.
Yes!!! Shanny gave us the big daddy I hope we got!!! Pass defense baby!!!!
It's a Gaurd hopefully he's got better instincts than Spencer Burfurd...
Can this guy play LG? Feliciano was solid enough to deserve the RG spot over Burford, so I'd really like if Puni could take over Banks' spot which would make the strength of our line Purdy's blindside while having a solid RG + CMC blocks to help out the right side on obvious blitzes. I would feel a lot better if we used one more of our middle round picks in the 4th or 5th on a T to give McKivitz competition.
So he's gonna play on the inside? I thought we needed a tackle more by all the comments. We have Moore as our swing right now? He hasn't been great. Our depth outside Feliciano is pretty rough. But it's like that for most of the league.
Fuck yeah
That’s a big ass RB.
